Andres Gimenez doppelganger:

I don't understand the Jays' hesitance to DH Varsho until he's ready to field. Hitting while continuing to rehab is what he's doing right now anyway. Who exactly do they think is a better option?

He's no great hitter or anything but he's the 4/5th best on this lackluster lineup

I think #BlueJays lineups will be pretty variable, especially in the bottom half. Bo, Vlad, Santander will bat in the first four. Varsho/Gimenez could end up hitting pretty much anywhere. Springer probably shouldn't be batting high up anymore. Kirk, Clement, etc, 7-9

Yarbrough had a solid year. Kinda surprising he couldn't land a MLB deal.

Maybe there's now other bargain deals (not necessarily MiLB deals) available for some of the other remaining free agents who could help the #BlueJays. E.g JD Martinez, Rizzo, Canha, Peralta

Well done. Just what they need to round out the bullpen and indirectly provide support to the rotation—and on a MiLB deal! Very tidy piece of work here

The #BlueJays budget has blasted so far beyond the early offseason reports

Someone convinced someone to open the financial floodgates

Nothing like a bunch of spending to spin straw into gold

-So Ross phones me up and says, "We need more international bonus to get Sasaki" so I said "Sure, if you take Straw"

-Myles Straw?

-Bwahaha! Yup

-How much of his salary did you have to cover?

-Just a 1/4th of it!

-Haha what!?

-And then....THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET SASAKI HAHAHA

The #BlueJays have added ~$42M in new money for 2025 this offseason.
Yet:
-3B is a ?
-They only have 2 starting OFs (and 1 will miss the start of the season, the other is rapidly declining)
-DH is a ?
-No proven LHPs in 'pen and no LHP in rotation
-Need another SP

Yikes!

With Ohtani, they merely missed out, no harm done financially. This time, they paid $10M to finish second. It's hard to imagine any employee at any other workplace keeping their job after losing a $10M gamble with company money.

The pen is legit now but the #BlueJays do still lack a dependable lefty option. Little/Walker/Eisert are certainly fine to have in the mix + there's probably very little $ left to spend on the pen, but a small veteran signing would help shore things up.
Eg:
Coulombe
S Alexander

Rico Carty was the oldest living person to have played for the Blue Jays. With his passing today, I believe the oldest living Blue Jay is now Willie Horton
