I dont know what Huff said to Stroman, but he's been a loser long before any interfaction with Stroman.

Stroman/Grichuk situation is weird, could realistically believe either of them is in the wrong (or both). I still like Stro as a player though and Grich is still on the team so I'd prefer to just focus on baseball and leave this stuff private.

 

[Woodman19]

At some point when does it stop being everyone but Stroman when the common denominator in all these seems to always be Stroman is a victim?

 

[phillipmike]

I’d gladly take Stroman over Grichuk so I can could trade Stroman again and get another SWR type prospect.

And then we would have Grichuk off the books.

Let's avoid the racial discussion, it won't end well.

There's a pretty massive difference between "holds right wing opinions" (which a huge number of baseball players likely do) and "openly promotes insane far-right conspiracy theories and repeatedly makes racist and sexist posts on social media".

Aubrey Huff is a piece of shit.

Shits getting real

He very well might be a piece of shit, but it doesn't make what he said about Stroman (who also didn't deny the story btw) any less true.

Also says a lot about Stroman when his immediate reaction is to play the race card, when nothing of the sort was ever brought up. Speaks volumes about his (lack) of character.

Stroman should get off of social media yesterday. He literally could be costing himself 10's of millions with orgs imagining the potential disruption to their team he might cause.

 

[LeafChief]

So has anyone other than Grichuk come forward to confirm the skipping rope incident?

I still don't know who to believe but Stroman did deny the story unequivocally a couple of times in replies to people.

Stroman doing Stroman doing things. Good work by the Jays for moving on.

I’m sure others don’t want to be bothered getting involved

I probably am among the minority who doesn't mind Stroman, but I agree. He could have responded by denying the facts of the incident or the framing, but going straight to the race card probably means he had no legit defense.

Oh for sure... just a general comment about Huff (in response to a post that no longer exists).

Do you think anyone will now step up now? Right or wrong, it will be a shitshow.

Stro will try to bully them, or play the "poor me" victim, or play one of his many usual "cards" when he gets busted for the things he did and who he is.

Loved the player. But he isn't worth the divided clubhouses that he creates wherever he goes.

Isn't Puig every bit as toxic in the clubhouse as Stroman supposedly was?

 

[Its not your fault]

Yah but let's go for it 60 games it's a wild west show down 1 season won't drag. I'm sure Covid will humble players a bit too.

I wouldn't say I'm opposed to Puig, but the only way he makes sense is if you believe that Grichuk can be the everyday CF this year and that none of the fringe/last chance OF on the team right now are going to amount to anything.

If you believe both of those things, then Puig makes a ton of sense. If not, you're better off leaving playing time available for Teoscar/Alford/McKinney/Fisher/Davis/etc. to see if one or two of them can solidify their place on the team for 2021.

Didn't they say before the original spring training that Grich was going to play CF and Teoscar was playing right?
