Blue Jays Discussion: Now accepting rants about Sanchez going to the bullpen

[Woodman19]

Its fairly simple. You don't crap where you eat. I am sure there are lots of potential future suitors of Bautista that have taken note to him calling out his employers for their managing of their finances.

 

[Discoverer]

But there was a reason he was on a bargain contract

Right, and since it turned out to be such a bargain, he now feels like he wants to get as much as he possibly can instead of settling for less. Why is there something wrong with that?

 

[Deebo]

If he's going to leave, and possibly for a direct competitor, I hope he fails there.

EE too, if he's playing for the Red Sox, I hope he is terrible for them.

There isnt. There is when you then go to a Camera and start telling them all that too. The Jays never went out and made an issue out of it to the Media like he did, so he opened the can of worms and deserves the criticism.

Wasn't Barnes doing well, relatively speaking? Why replace him with

 

[sparxx87]

hating on your best players because they dare to ask for market value.

it's petty, small market mentality.

It's not the dollars per year, it's the term at his age that I believe most think is unreasonable.

Depending on the dollars to spend, Edwin should be top priority.. If not for Edwin, I'd be fine with 2 years and 60m with a club option for a 3rd at maybe 20...


His inability to stay on the field, and lack of ability playing the OF have all but guaranteed he won't get what he wants... But then again, the team is run by dumb and dumber so I wouldn't be suprised to see him get dollars and term if they can't retain EE.

This is a funny mentality to me. As fans, we ***** and whine and complain every damn day about Rogers being unwilling to support the team to the extent we all know they can, and as soon as Bautista backs up these opinions, we get all indignant and want him to fail because he called them out?

 

[Deebo]

Now getting the most he can get is possibly less than he was being offered by the Jays in the off-season. It could turn out that he made another poor financial decision.

Yeah, because it doesn't work the other way... If he signed for 30m per for the past 5 years and performed as a 15-20m player, would it be fair for the club to expect him to sign for less then market? No, of course not.

If he felt he would outplay his contract, he should have taken shorter term. He wanted the longer term deal, and over performed in it... That's how contracts work sometimes.

We are Rogers customers, Bautista is a Rogers employee. There is a difference.

Also, he spouted off about what he felt he deserved. This isn't about Rogers spending money on winning, they just dont think its worthwhile spending it on him to help them win and its looking like they are right.

 

[Mad Brills*]

I honestly wonder if he takes the QO this winter, and bets on himself.

 

[Mad Brills*]

He was right. Rogers have always been cheap. Rogers are the ones that have been screwing us for years, while Bautista was giving us pure joy on a bargain contract.

Lol nope.

Bautista was coming off 1 good season when he got that deal. Jays got lucky that it turned into a bargain with his great 2011,2013,2014 and 2015 seasons.

Could've easily turned into wells 2.0

I suspect it's temporary. Like a week

Then, if anything, him calling them out should have just strengthened your anti-Rogers resolve. He's the little guy railing against the man. Normally that's something to cheer for.

 

[ShaneFalco]

If JB is out for a while, Lake won't be the solution
They'll do something

No, hes the multi million dollar athlete making more money then all of us put together will ever earn in our lifetime crying because he feels he is entitled to more and then goes in front of the Cameras talking about how he doesn't owe anything to Toronto. (I agree that he doesn't)

Jose has a Sprained Knee.

15 Day DL

Hi Capitalism and false dichotomies!

 

[ShaneFalco]

So Carrera is back on the 15th?

 

[Discoverer]

Yeah, because it doesn't work the other way... If he signed for 30m per for the past 5 years and performed as a 15-20m player, would it be fair for the club to expect him to sign for less then market? No, of course not.

Obviously. But he was vastly underpaid over that time, so it makes perfect sense that he might now want the biggest contract he can get to close out his career, regardless of whether or not the Jays are the team to give it to him.

 

[Loosie]

It's the way he did it, and publicly

He was asked publicly if he'd take a home town discount, which was a REALLY stupid question to ask someone coming off a contract that turned out to be a bargain. He didn't call a press conference to say "**** you all I want all the moneys!!!!"

The term "No Comment" comes to mind.

Exactly.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Dammit Jose.

If he has to go on the DL and Pompey doesn't get called up I give up.

When has Bautista ever used the term "No Comment". He always speaks his mind.
