Those should have been two easy points , but it's good that this team fought back. Maybe more value in a come from behind win on the road when it would have been easy to checkout.

Yes, I would have been extremely happy if he signed because of what it might have meant for baseball in Canada. But, at no time did I think Ohtani was on that plane. It made no sense whatsoever. And, I'm not crying that I was duped by some fringe Twitter accounts.

Butthurt Toronto fans are the worst.

That's just whiny Toronto media. Leafs, Jays, Raps, etc, it doesn't matter.

Smart to use the 2nd richest team against the team you want to play for. Ohtani ghosted the Mets, so they needed another team with deep pockets. I still genuinely believe Ohtani considered Toronto, but I've been convinced that he's always wanted to be a Dodger.

Miller looks good today.

Not Toronto. Might be LA but only recently. Sun is setting.

Holy moly, @Super Duper Negatron is old!

Let's close the store. No point in selling anything Bombers related as it would just promote a second place team.

We printed them after winning the West. As we've done before.

He's too big to fail, TBH. Generational talent. Now, he's had two TJs, but he can still hit. And, he can play a position, if he doesn't pitch long-term.

When does the 2023 season officially end for salary cap purposes? If we have money left on the cap, which would surprise me, when can we re-sign people and frontload their bonus into 2023?

They're losing money on the broadcasting rights to the NHL. The Blue Jays operate in a different sphere and they are profitable. It's about time that Rogers invested in that team. Second richest team in baseball and treat it like a small market.

Rogers will continue to to cut regardless of what they would give Ohtani.

Expectations: Reality:

It's a great day to be a baseball fan in Canada is Shohei signs with the Blue Jays. I hate the Blue Jays but this would do so much to promote baseball in Canada, it would be phenomenal. The generational impact would be massive. I still think the Dodgers have the advantage, but I could see how Toronto would be intriguing for Ohtani. Kind of the way Vince Carter sparked a generation of basketball players north of the border.

I've often wanted to send the Riders and their fans off in a rocket ship, so godspeed Little Rocket That Could!

Yes, I'm assuming we're bringing back a lot of the same guys. Some will be due pay raises and some will get those raises elsewhere.

So, you target two National ends, and dump Jeffcoat? Or pay a premium for two Nationals to not start? This team needs to build through the draft, the neg list and cheap Americans. We can't afford FAs with the players that need to be paid and the old timers we're keeping around.

Just putting it out there, but I do NOT wish for us to re-sign Drew Willy.

Soto is a Yankee. Cashman finally fixes the grievous error of not signing Harper. Now, they better get him extended.

He'll say all the right things today, but I bet they go hard for a new QB. BLM is broken.

I was undercutting his value as a team player. Should be in the $900k range, just to be safe and to value his contribution.

Still won a cup. We know what he is but he's a former MOP, Grey Cup MOP, and Grey Cup Champion. So, even if it's only victory laps, it's hard not to see why they're paying him.
