On Wednesday evening Sportsnet put up one of the saddest rumour posts I think I’ve ever seen. Report: Blue Jays among ‘potential fits’ for Pirates’ Josh Harrison Now, I can’t exactly begrudge the folks over there for having figured out to not just let jerks like me reap all the pageviews available out there for…
Jon Morosi would like to pick your brains, Jays fans! And judging by some of the answers he received, for some of you the vultures won’t be too far behind. Let’s take a little trip through some tweets, shall we? Question for #BlueJays fans: Do you believe Jays could trade Josh Donaldson this winter and…
Ahhh, the ol’ Benny Freshbag! It’s been too long! This week our friend Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet actually took to his computer and answered many, many, many questions tossed his way by the frothing masses, yearning to breathe in the word of deals. Uh… he did a chat! And now I am here to hijack that…
Talking Longoria, Donaldson, Vladdy, the CBA, the trade market, and so much more! PLUS! For Patreon supporters only, we’ve got even more #content on its way, in which Drew and I extend today’s podcast with a holiday-themed discussion, as we hand out some Blue Jays stocking stuffers — watch for a new episode of SuperBAD…
God, I don’t want to end up looking like an asshole if the Jays end up announcing a naming rights deal and it doesn’t line up with the things I’m hearing from readers today who are claiming to be in the know — or to know somebody in the know — so let me be…
Jon Heyman pumping up the market for a Scott Boras client? Colour me shocked! But colour me also intrigued by his latest for Fan Rag, in which he claims that it’s the Jays who are “an under-the-radar team with interest in J.D. Martinez, as was mentioned here first.” I cannot possibly actually believe it would ever happen,…
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.(‘s ghostwriter) wrote a thing! Blue Jays fans and Expos fans alike were treated to some outstanding Vladdy content this morning, as the younger Guerrero has published a great tribute to his father, who looks like he’s on track to be voted into the Hall of Fame next summer. It’s a nice piece…
On late Wednesday evening I joined host Dan Riccio of Sportsnet Tonight on Sportsnet 650 Vancouver to talk some Jays. Or… some… whatever the hell is supposedly going on. Meaning Donaldson rumours, free agent possibilities, Baseball America’s Jays top 10, and more! So have a listen. My segment was the first one in the 8 o’clock hour, so it’s…
I mean, you’ve already read the money quotes in the title of this piece, but one more time, for the sake of formality, here’s what Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch told his readers on Wednesday: As the Cardinals continue their search for bullpen help, perhaps another hitter and maybe a starter, word in…
Yes, it’s come to this. Tom Koehler was an interesting addition to the Blue Jays late in 2017, offering the team a chance to take a look at a guy who had once been a nice back-end starter, and who was arbitration eligible for 2018. Koehler’s season had gone completely sideways in Miami, but he’d…
Daily??!?!? Over the weekend, the Jays missed out on a pair of interesting starting pitching options, as CC Sabathia — who it seemed the Jays had genuine interest in — re-upped with the Yankees, while Matt Moore was traded to the Rangers. Cue “DO SOMETHING!” dopes who criticized the Jays for rushing the market last winter…
December is almost over, and the Blue Jays—like most MLB teams this winter—have yet to make their big move. Is that big move coming? Might that big move be a Josh Donaldson extension? The sale of the team? I have no idea! But that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to tackle these questions, and…
