They ask questions the fans want to know. It is their job to dig and get the “whys” behind the struggles. He just decided not to tell them.

They are just doing their job, he can always avoid and deflect…..which he did.

Weren’t the Bluejays in last place just a year ago and then went to the World Series?

Been seeing a theme for a while with these Jan. 6 Pardoned individuals.

Subtract McDermott, he is strictly bullpen now. But, there are a few AAA pitchers that could be a factor (Gibson, German, Wells).

Still holding on for hope to get Romero. 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿

He probably sits Mayo and Mountcastle together in the same conversation. “You guys want to play, then compete for 3rd.”

Didn’t Elias mention in his opening presser, that Povich could be used in the pen?

No starter in this years market, is better than Bradish. He is our ace and has been pitching like it every year after his first year.

You will take Bassitt and like it.

It is a letdown, but this should give us enough depth to be competitive till the deadline to upgrade.

Not sure we were beating Boston’s package last year for Crochett, unless you are including Basallo? Look man, he didn’t get it done. But, still have the chance to sign some depth. We will see.

Sure, he missed out on the trades. I think he missed out on Kikuchi last year. But, Kikuchi also agreed so early in FA for anyone to bid on him. The others (Fried, Eovaldi) landed where they wanted to be. We had high bid on Eovaldi last year, but Eovaldi waited for the Rangers to lose out on Fried.

Ace? I’ll concede that he is a good pitcher, with declining velocity and stuff. But still a good 2-3 as of now:

All true. Now we need to pivot.

They were definitely being funny…..but they still eventually matched. That only happened when they had to pivot when losing out on Bregman. Good chance we have him if it weren’t for Bregman. But, I’m also happy not to face Bregman 13 times a year.

They definitely have finished strong. No disagreement there.

May not of mattered. Suárez apparently grew up rooting for Boston. I’m with you though, Mike has missed on some opportunities. Rumors were Valdez’s meeting with the Orioles was BAAAAAAAAAAD. Regardless, we need to sign a reliable depth piece and revisit if we are still in the hunt at the deadline.

Let Cease go? Question for you, if the salary offers were the same, are you going to the Jays (just in the World Series) or the orioles? Most believe that salary was/is an over pay to begin with.

We had the high bid on Schwarber and Suarez. According to Zach at Pigtownsports, Boston had to go back to the table 3 times, just to eventually match our bid. I’m frustrated too, but to say we were not aggressive is inaccurate.

This sucks to hear. Enjoyed listening to guys and occasionally Britt. Hopefully it can continue under another platform.

That’s their second Super Bowl.

If they were moving the ball better, you may be right.

Do you think he will make it to us in the claim order?

Most people understand that, but it is ploy to fool people into spending money when “some” forget to cancel the subscription.

No one will disagree that we are in a better position than last year, but that isn’t good enough. We finished in last place with every team getting seemingly better. We have a long ways to go to catch up…..especially in the pitching department.

I hope they do get him. Send the O’s Jared Jones shortly after please. We have some bats for them.
