Blue Jays Discussion: Guys are getting hurt, but Grichuk is mashing.

Marlins had one more positive today. They’re up to 17 players and two coaches. If you were a free agent, would you answer the phone if Jeter called...

Depends - is it 5G or not?

My proposal: seven game series against Washington - if we win four we become the linear champs.

Series against Phillies cancelled this weekend.

Might have been a bad call bringing Pearson up, yes he was great - but who knows if this season will even finish, if I had to bet I would say no. Could have hung on to an extra year.

I believe they already have hung onto the extra year.

Just spitballing here, but I wonder if the break up the Rays/Orioles series that was supposed to happen this weekend and send us to Baltimore and the Rays to DC for a weekend set. Tampa was supposed to be headed to Baltimore so it’s not a huge detour to send them to DC instead.

Perfect storm. Team can’t play in Philly, can’t move the series to Toronto, and Buffalo isn’t ready yet. LMAO.

So 2 teams other teams are off this week because of the Malins Phillies debacle but they can't play each other like the O's, and Yankees did because we just played each other and don't play again.

I suggest we break up the Rays/Orioles series this week. We play the O's, and the Nats play the Rays. They can figure lout the rest later on. I'm sure it's probably workable. Giving 2 entire uninvolved teams an entire weekend off and figure you'll make it up later seems crazy

They need to figure something out IMO. Having two teams not play this weekend is kind of dumb.

I hope they press charges against Manfred. As commissioner, he directly endangered Philly's players and staff.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Dolis and Gaviglio still make me nervous, but another good pitching performance for the team as a whole.

Though I was impressed with Dollis last night

Price trade was five years ago today

You take that back

What a clusterf--k. All because a team was allowed to hold a vote via text as to whether or not to play while awaiting test results.

Manfred: I tried nothing, and I'm all out of ideas

 

[Discoverer]

Jays should just stay in Washington and play another series against the Nats.

inb4 Manfred says "we're cancelling the rest of the Blue Jays season."

Not really, if they waited 20 or so days in to next season to call him up, we'd have an extra year of service time.

With this season in jeopardy, could be a waste.

If they actually cancel this season not even a month in, I bet they wipe everything. All stats, all service time accrued in the games played, etc.

 

[theaub]

If they never call him up they'll always have six years of control!

MLBPA lawyers would have a hey day with this.
I think it all counts now. If it ends, it ends. That’s a season.

Yup. Easiest solution IMO.

 

[Anthrax442]

Yup. Easiest solution IMO.

Play the whole season vs one team

No way the PA allows that.

Honestly whatever happens now it's fine. They got the extra season from holding him back for the 5 days to start this season. So if things get cancelled them for 2021 we start things no worse off than if we assume Pearson makes the team out of camp next spring (which he absolutely should regardless of service shenanigans that might've been in play)

Nate says the 5 days didn't bother him, but chances are it bothered some in his camp. If they had tried to hold him back for this whole season and also the next one at the start it probably risks significantly poisoning things.

We can "if" and "but scenarios for this season getting wiped out but honestly whatever unfolds now is fine.
