Blue Jays Discussion: Off-season discussion: Two signings. Rinse, Repeat add 1.

[The Nemesis]

Last thread was waaaaaaay over 1k and some people were starting to question keeping it running when it was so unwieldy.

That's on me because I've largely checked out of discussion on here after the playoff fallout got so poisonous that I just couldn't sift through it. I'll try to be around more now when I can.

Previous thread:

Blue Jays Discussion: - The official Davis Schneider Appreciation Society

Hoornstra just joined Dodger Nation. He’s reputable and appears to have good connections in the Dodgers organization. A plausible explanation is someone from the Dodgers told him Ohtani has turned down the Dodgers for the Jays. But none of the Blue Jays execs or CAA will tell anyone that...

tl;dr: Airplanes, sushi reservations, media backtracks, media infighting, snap decision radio show substitutions about nothing, and ultimately we're still where we were on Thursday.

Does he sign today?

 

[Bonham]

Hoornstra is saying what I want to hear, so I am choosing to believe him.

On Thursday Passan said that we should know in 96 hours, so we should know within the next 48 hours.

I'm trying so hard to be pessimistic about this so I won't be let down, but man oh man its getting harder and harder. Everything you see online in social media seems to point towards it actually happening.

Then why haven’t the Dodgers pivoted to other players. I’m going off the belief that if the Dodgers knew they were out for, according to this guy, the last 24 hours, we’d see a flurry of activity from the Dodgers as a signal. Why would they wait until Ohtani “officially” signs somewhere else?

We're 2 days away from being 2 days away. Oh god it's Bruno Caboclo all over again.

Well, just last year Carlos Correa signed with both the Mets and Giants before returning to the Twins.

Also, the rest of the market could be waiting on it being official. It’s not like everyone in the business knows it’s a certainty yet.

Up until 4:00 pm yesterday things were looking like it would happen.

They may have or maybe not I dunno. My guess is though that the Dodgers pivot is the trade market and not the next best FA. I'm sure a reunion with Bellinger is where the Dodgers turn.

Even if the Dodgers knew they were out on Ohtani, they're not just going to instantly start signing guys. It's still a process to get a deal done, and the players would have an incentive to hold off on signing to see if other teams come calling once Ohtani is officially off the market.

What a terrible 24 hours.

 

[Habsfan18]

Well then..

 

[stickty111]

Atkins is really good at trying

 

[Canada4Gold]

God damn it

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

wow. this blows.

 

[canucksfan]

One plus, management now can go out and get other players.

 

[Stephen]

Jays just got used and abused so hard. Knew it, yesterday's no comment from CAA before denying later was a complete smokescreen for something else.

 

[KaN19]

Most humiliating 24 hours in franchise history.

LOL!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Dodgers, Morosi, Ohtani’s camp, everyone played us for fools.
