the team is a joke.i think its a proper coach is needed
If they don't CUT the President, GM, and Manager, I will never watch them until then. All three are out of their depth and will NEVER win a World Series. Ppl can try to push blame on the players but the fish rots from the head.
This guy thinks FLA will win. L.
so the Blue Jays can't get a player like Cole Ragans for Yimi Garcia? let's target Canadian prospects like Cubs Owen Caissie or Brewers Tyler Black.
Shapiro is to blame for everything. He's the President. He signed off on these silly offseason signings after Atkins said last October that he had to be better as a GM. Well, he's worse. Shapiro said Atkins has done an amazing job. Atkins said there was no holes in this locomotive team. They fire a rookie manager and hire another rookie manager.
Both Shapiro and Atkins are clueless.
Shapiro also destroyed SkyDome. It was an exciting homerun park. The outfield reno changed the airflow in the dome and it's no longer a homerun park. Shapiro knew this since last year. So what does Shapiro do? He signs more weak hitting infielders.
During a lot of games, 7 of 9 position players are actually infielders.
You just can't help but laugh at how incompetent Rogers is to hire a President with a 30+ year record of never winning anything and think things will be different.
It's the first week in June and you want to tear it all apart.
Typical Toronto media person that knows đź’©đź’©đź’©đź’©đź’©
Its all in or nothing. If you want to win you cant trade anyone. If you dont want to win, you trade Bo, Vlad and all pitching.
Sellers or do you mean bottom dwellers
This entire episode just confirms there is no pivot. Yes they wanna make money cause of the Reno’s but the reality is we need a complete tear down and rebuild.
Anything else is an exercise in futility and Rogers trying to fix the fanbase into still coming for games.
Luv that the worm has finally turned. Sportsnet can't lie anymore. They have to call the team for what they are: horribly underperforming. These tears are so sweet.
Vladdy 27×8
Bo 27×8
Bowden Francis being a starter?That is crackhead thinking. Nobody believed those cheapskates.
Cut deep in management not the players. Management has accepted that mediocrity is okay and until that changes, the team won’t change
Why trading a player when he is in his down year? Buy high Sell Low strategy? Gausman still have 2 years left, you can trade him next year or during offseason. Unless you got execeptional value back, that you cannot turn down. If Gausman is traded, that means Jays have giving up this season and or next too, do Atkins has the guts to do? I doubt. He usuallly play safe, and conservative approach. When he make risky trades, usually turns out in a bad way.
If I was GM
Re-sign/keep
Guerrero – 11 years – 300M – if not trade
Varsho – 7 years – 125M – on top of current control
Jansen – 6 years – 100M – if not trade
Schneider = keep
Manoah = keep
Bassit = keep
Gausman = keep
Trade
Bichette
IKF
Springer = will have to eat salary
Garcia
Everyone else you may get value for that are on short contracts
Move up from AAA fulltime
Horwitz
Martinez
Barger
Nathan Lukes
Even if you do all these moves, i bet you the team is no worst than they are right now lol
Everyone wants Atkins head that's credible.I don't hear no one talking Shapiro this guy was suppose to be some great architec from Cleveland and it's a epic fail.
yes to trading Guzman, highly rated amongst team should give a half descent return. Waive Springer, trade Bo and Vlad.
Cuts ? Start with waistlines, anyone over a 35 waist is gone !! Ahem, Vogelbach ? Schneider ?? lol No post game buffet for you guys !!
The Jays will wait til Canada Day. They have a tough schedule in June against AL-East teams plus 6 against Division leading Cleveland.
Don't believe a word Atkins says. The only reason he is saying they are working on an extension is because when they do trade them he want to blame the players. He will claim that the team offered them a good deal, but the players didn't want to stay. Everything he says is just about blaming others and covering his ass.
