Yea NGL I found it weird they did that. I used to read the comments section sometimes. There was a community there. They didn't even give warning or anything.

Don’t forget the 2025 Orioles becoming the 1927 Yankees for 3 games and the worst defensive outfielder in baseball becoming an elite player again stealing two HRs

So, now we have beiber who can't pitch because he just did new recordings and Brad Pitt got called up?
I thought Pitt is playing "moneyball", as rival g.m..who is next in line?

I might be overreacting but Joey Loperfido 2.0 looks like a keeper. Last year there was a lot of swing and miss, but this year there's way more contact and he puts the ball in play. i was hoping to see him lead off today and not only did it happen but he did a good job. i kinda hope he doesn't get traded tomorrow...

Poor Ali Sanchez got robbed of his first career HR. Who knows how many more chances he’ll get.

Really depends who we're getting. He's their best major league trade chip other than Wagner.

Especially since he is making $760,000 and has two more years of pre-arbitration after this season. In total, he will still be under team control for 5 more seasons after this one. The only way I trade this guy in a package is for a front of the line rotation guy or even an elite reliever with multiple years of control left. I like what I see from this guy. He should be the starting LF going forward with Varsho coming back and playing CF. Lukes can stay in RF. Guys like Straw and Schneider can play when this team is facing a Left Handed Starting Pitcher, and otherwise they should be on the bench.

Hey all, first time posting here. Been a very very casual Jays fan for a long time but have tried following them closer this year.

With the Jays playing well, a lot of casuals (including myself) are going to start popping up. I was wondering if someone could give the key takeaways of what this season means, what do we think of the players, the managers, the FO and so on. Just a crash course on the team!

Really appreciate it! :D

We love Varsho and Kirk and don’t like the manager or front office.
