I read that Cleveland wants Moreno and Manoah which is a non-starter.

Personally I was hoping they'd go bigger and get Jose Ramirez, but I'm certainly not gonna sulk over getting Chapman instead

With Chapman the Blue Jays will now win the next 5 World Series titles!!!!

Wait....

Oh crap....

This is a Blue Jays thread where we need to be realistic.

Not a Maple Leafs thread.

Leafs suck.

Jays won 9-6 today in their first spring training game. Bo went 0-0 with a walk and HBP.

BSG · 03-19-2022, 11:22 AM

Jays vs Phillies I’m less than an hour and it’s on SPORTSNET!!!!

Bo/Vlad/Teo batting 2-3-4. I cannot wait.

zeus22 · 03-19-2022, 12:40 PM

Future is so bright with Orelvis in the wings.

HR with his 1st AB.

Lost yesterday 3-2 to the Phillies.

Chapman plays in todays game song with LGJ and Kirk who might be playing to show off in a trade. I hope not but we will see.

BigSlim16 · 03-20-2022, 01:00 PM

Matt Chapman no-doubt HR. He’s gonna fit in just fine in that lineup

BSG · 03-21-2022, 11:56 PM

All about pitching in todays win against Detroit. Pearson was legit. No hits given up after Manoah left the game.

BSG · 03-22-2022, 06:19 PM

And another one…Yankees lose.

Triple B · 03-22-2022, 07:09 PM

They just signed Vlad to a $7.2 million deal to avoid arbitration. Dude’s getting paid next year

Just cut to the chase, Jays. 15 years, $600 million.

Agreed. They should be looking to get a 10 year deal done with him and Bichette this year. No point waiting.

Don't know the overall feelings on Kirk since I am a White Sox fan that also likes and enjoys plenty of other teams and players (any team other than Twins, Guardians, Astros) but I hope to see him an everyday player instead of platooning.

I agree. He looks great so far this spring. I want him playing every day.

NYBBFAN · 03-24-2022, 12:26 AM

If Brett Gardener doesn’t re-sign with the Yankees, I want to see him in Toronto. Could be a very good veteran clubhouse leader for this group of young talent.

They’ll have to reinforce the dugout roof.
