"see how little you effect us?"
Bautista and Edwin.The Blue Jays have several major UFAs this winter right? So this may be their chance right here
if the jays win the world series this year I honestly don't care about next season.
Bautista and Edwin.
So regardless, we have two huge holes in the line-up. But it's still a pretty good roster, IMO. It doesn't NEED a lot of work. AA left Shapiro and Atkins with a good roster. I still think that will be one of the best 1-5 pitching rotations in the MLB.
Our complete list of 2017 UFAs are;
Justin Smoak
I think most of the fans prefer him too at this point.Honestly I think at this point Rogers may give Shpirkins the K to give Edwing what he wants. Not only has he had a great run of phenomenal seasons but now in this years playoffs he's played even better. They full well know its going to very hard next year without him and after two straight playoff runs and 1.5 years of sell outs, I think they will finally open up their chequebooks. Now it remains to be seen if they also give Joey Bats what he wants, and yea he was one of the guys who helped build this team up but ultimately I thin they prefer Edwin over him.
You're right. I forgot he signed this year. So there's our bench power and defense.I thought Smoak signed a 2 year extension
True but a lot less teams make the playoffs. If 8 teams made it, how many years do we make itThat'd be funny if it wasn't for the 21 seasons prior to last year where the Jays had an early winter.
Hell, even the Leafs saw the playoffs during that stretch of incompetence.
For the next round I wouldn't mind seeing the Jays play the Red Sox or the Indians.

If the Jays give Bautista anything close to what he wants I will be severly disappointed. At this point the only reason you bring him back is if he takes 20 mill (per) over a couple seasons, not 30 per over 5 that he had wanted in the past. The guy just isn't that special anymore and is way too much of a me first player. In 4 games in the playoffs I clearly remember 2 (and could be 3) points where a single is just as good as a home run and all he is doing is wanting to park one. He doesn't care about winning unless he does it in style (from my point of view). I could be wrong, but that is what I see.
Then again, I dislike him a lot. He seemed like a good guy a couple years ago, but the ego on him after he had the good seasons has made him someone I just can't stand.
