Blue Jays Discussion: Spending money on FA's?! Yes you read that correctly (Russell Martin signs $82M/5)

Our new Catcher

Kinda looks like Janssen in this picture.

 

[Woodman19]

Damn, dude is in good shape. Doesn't look like a catcher, does he?

Former shortstop. I guess that is the reason we feel he will age well into his mid 30's

 

[TootooTrain]

That uniform looks good on anyone.

I remember watching one of those player polls pre-game and the Jays logo came 2nd as the best looking. Can't remember what #1 was. Probably something boring like NY.

Bob is actually very knowledgable when it comes to the business and the behind the scenes stuff. He has terrific sources and usually doesnt just make something up when it comes to the management side of things. Sure when he talks about the actual sport, trades or signings he can be a dummy sometimes but he knows his stuff when it comes to the other side.

This is how I see him. I listen to his show because he does get good guests. I don't really care for his opinion on most matters sports. I more listen for the hurts though

It's on now sn 360. Just found the Martin presser

"welp, he's speaking french, time to show a highlight package!"

"welp, he's speaking french, time to show a highlight package!"

Gonna win the hearts of the québécois fans

I'm just glad we aren't wearing those horrid pieces of crap we had before the recent re-branding. That **** was horrible.

I personally think we have the best Uniform/Logo in the league. Would put the Phillies as my 2nd fav.

 

[The Nemesis]

Don't like, Russell. NOBODY is excited about playing in Olympic Stadium.

People might be excited about playing in Montreal, but nobody wants to be in Olympic Stadium. Place is falling apart.

 

[Jaysfanatic*]

Eh, I'm sure you're excited to play where you grew up watching games, no matter how decrepit.

 

[The Nemesis]

We're over the post limit, but might as well stick this out until the presser is done.

 

[Jaysfanatic*]

Martin speaks Parisienne French, Alex speaks Canadian French.

 

[Mitchy]

Martin looks a lot more fatter in game.

 

[The Nemesis]

Probably a good chance to quickly switch threads while there's no interview or anything going on.
