Im of the belief that unless the club makes it deep into the ALCS, then you trade Vlad, Bo, Biggio, and anyelse with there finaly year of control thqt wont or we cant resign. After the 25 season SS,1b, 2SP, the whole bullpen and starting C are gone. So if they dont kick a$s in 24, then the 24/25 offseason should be trading every thats not nailed down to kick start a rebuild in a major way. Ask for close to league ready prospect as in AA an above or young players that dont fit with there current team. With that the team would be able to start competing in 2-3 years. The other option is left them walk and get 2-3 comp picks in and around the 3rd round.l amd if your luck compete im 6 years So to you I ask, do u agree or not? If this happens it has to be Click running the show. Teams like the dodgers would pay big for 1yr of BO other teams could use a closer like romano, aswell as a few other bullpen pieces. Cincy has a over flow of IF guys target teams with top 3rd farms that are finlly going for ot or the big teams that always go amd u could get some good assets quickly
The jays traded for grichuk after the deal for yellich fell thru. At the time is was said the jays wanted to dump kendres Morales so they offered BO, morales and whatever else. Miami said we would if we get vlad and not bo. Either way im a world were the jays did land yellich amd not land/resign Grichuk what does the team look like now?
I tend to agree with both of your predictions in the last Exit Philosophy that as it stands this is a .500 team or less. God help us if the starting pitching goes sour.
Your discussion about extending Bo or Vlad (or both) didn’t deal with two potential scenarios: 1. What if neither actually wants to stay? 2. What if the Jays don’t actually want to extend them? They would be nuts to not want to keep Bo, but maybe they know he wants to go? Maybe they think that the 2023 Vlad is closer to what he really is? I would love to see these arguments discussed.
Be great to hear your thoughts on the demise of Sports illustrated as well. That one hurt. I still have some copies from my subscription in the late 70’s and 80’s. Reading through them is an eye opener. It’s like reading classsic literature. Wonderful.
I would think more than not wanting to play for the Blue Jays would be Bo and Vlad wanting to go through the free agent process and see how much they are worth on the open market. Nothing against Toronto. WRT SI I was a subscriber since 1968 and I loved going back through old Faces in the Crowd pages and looking for people who went on to bigger and better. Some great photographers and writers.
