Loperfido is the clear candidate to go down from a roster construction perspective with Varsho back but he’s on a crazy hot streak and they should ride that while they can.


I don’t think it’s ideal to have Clement playing everyday vs righties. Sometimes, but he has a 71 wRC+ vs righties this year. They need more left handed options on the bench.

Not ideal but he’s an elite defender in the infield and the Jays have shown they value that above all else


I’m fine with playing him a fair bit. I just think you want some lefty options on the bench to pinch hit, if needed.

Varsho would have 50 homers were it not for injuries.

Once Giminez is back, you can do without Clements defence (against RHP at least)

Rockies commentators were just talking about how they have to take molina out the game asap because they can't have him pitch against varsho again

Varsho must’ve got that maxi surgery on his shoulder.

Agreed, another reason to DFA France

Looking like we could have used Chad Green quite a bit this series.

98 mph fastball to the knee sounds painful.
