I'll be in TO for the Yankee series June 17-19. Got my flights, hotel & game tickets already.
Hope the schedule doesn't change.

I imagine I'd be taking in some of those games as well. One of my good buddies out here is unfortunately a Yankees fan. We usually go to one game every other time the Yankees visit.

I'm a little surprised they gave Kikuchi 3 years, I thought he'd only get a 2 year deal. That said he seems like the type of pitcher that will thrive under Pete Walker. Lefty with a mid 90s fastball that struggles with giving up hard contact.
There is your 5th starter. Just need an infielder, a bullpen arm and another LH bat.

Yeah that's gonna suck. If anything this NYY/MIN trade probably puts some pressure on Shatkins to make a big move for a 2B/3B. Biggio, Smith and Espinal aren't gonna get it done.

I actually think it might help getting that middle infielder. Takes one more suitor out of the market, should soften prices a bit.

Not exactly Ken Rosenthal but he did call the Jays signing Semien last offseason and Garcia this one, so who knows
He would make for an insane lineup but I can't see the fit defensively unfortunately. Schwarber, who they are also linked to, makes more sense I think

Only way this makes sense is if they're comfortable with Vlad at third. He did change his insta bio to blue jays 3b earlier this offseason
The lineup with Freddie would be ridiculous

Either that or use Vlad & Freeman as your DH the majority of the time. He is exactly the type of hitter they need though, or any team for that matter. Surprised Atlanta opted to pay a big price in trade rather than re-sign Freeman.

Yeah that's an option but I don't like clogging the dh all year when we could be cycling through guys (springer) through the dh to keep healthy

Blue Jays acquire 3B Chapman from A's for four prospects - TSN.ca
The Toronto Blue Jays have made a move to bolster their infield, acquiring third baseman Matt Chapman from the Oakland Athletics, the team announced on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are sending pitcher Gunnar Hoglund. shortstop Kevin Smith, left-handed starter Zach Logue and left-handed reliever...

Chapman to the Jays.
Huge add.
I think it opened up two spots on the 40 man roster too. More coming?
Seems like theyre pushing their chips in.

I like Chapman but he kind of brings what they already have at the plate. Will be an absolute treat watching him man 3rd base for the Jays though.
They still need a left handed bat though. Ken Rosenthal and Shi Davidi both reiterated their interest in Jose Ramirez today (if the Guardians trade him) They're still swinging big IMO. Bringing in Jose Ramirez would complete one of, if not THE best lineups i've ever seen.

Ramirez 2B
Guerrero Jr 1B

Chapman 3B
Gurriel Jr LF

Jansen C
Still right handed heavy but it doesn't matter, that is absolutely insane.

Pitching looks pretty good too. Although I'd like to add one or two more MLB arms, although that can also be done at the deadline.

Pitching depth never hurts, we might see some minor league deals once the dust settles.
Assuming everything goes to plan I can see the Jays being in the market for an elite reliever come trade deadline. Kind of feels like that would be the finishing piece.

Blue Jay's fans are happy... this makes their crash and burn worse.
Do not like their pitching...weakest link

Ramirez would be a big addition, I hope they get something done. A few more GM’s will be trying for Ramirez if available.

The Blue Jays aren’t the Oilers.
Even if they get average pitching they’ll be good for October baseball.

Last few years the off season with the Jay's has been the same. The kids will only get them so dar
Kikuchi will be a big wildcard. So long as their bullpen isnt as bad as last season I don't see how they aren't a favorite.
Berrios/Gausman/Ryu/Kikuchi/Manoah/Stripling/Pearson/Kay
They have potential to be disgusting if a couple of those kids can put it together. Gotta be a make or break year for Pearson at this point.
Can't remember being this excited for the Jays season. Like, ever.
