We're getting Sasaki for sure! Oh, sorry...I meant Yoshihiro Sasaki, a 28-year-old submarine reliever with a 4.78 ERA in the Independent Baseball League of Uganda. The analytics department really likes his potential and Pete Walker thinks he sees something in Sasaki's delivery that he can work with.
Another big free agent, Sasaki, mentioned in talks with Jays but as Jays nation has come to expect, we have seen this movie before....always the bridesmaid, never the bride!!😊
Has anybody considered the fact that this front office will never land anyone big until they are fired especially Atkins because we’ve been able to land big fish before remember we got Roger Clemens, Lance Parish just to name a couple. It’s not because of the city even though there is the tax issue. Nobody wants to come here right now because of our current front office and that’s the truth of it now I blame ownership for not being able to get anybody because they kept the status quo in terms of the front office. That’s why we’re in danger of losing Bo and Vladdy I guarantee you if they would’ve fired Atkins Vlad and Bo would’ve already both signed long-term extensions
Hahaha ohhh we are in on this guy to??? Where do you find these ridiculous assumptions , he definitely will be amazing just not with the Jays! Zero chance
1. Less media around the Jays 2. League best defence which will only help improve his numbers and get him a big payday when he is eventually an MLB free agent 3. The Jays don’t have a reputation for wrecking guys arms, their SPs aren’t abused and stay mostly healthy I think these things would help attract Sasaki. I don’t think the Jays are favourites but I think they have a good chance
@@skidrat55 I wouldn’t rank Blue Jays media attention that high. It’s still higher than league average sure. I would put LA Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies all higher than Jays in this category.
You guys are funny. No Japanese star leaves home to play in Canada. They want to play in California or for the Yankees. If none of those teams want them then the other teams have a chance but let's be clear the issue with the Jay's is not the city or the team. It's the management and their incompetence.
One of the biggest things Atkins was responsible for amidst the turmoil, was getting under the lux tax. I bet it's like 50k under. (It's estimated at about 3m over) I'll always say that Votto didn't get called up because of the tax. Couldn't risk a single dollar. Getting under saves us 500k of international FA money and a 5th round pick if we sign a FA with a QO. Burnes, Santander, etc.. (It's still 500k and a 2nd round pick to sign one regardless, But 1m if over the tax) Hate Atkins, but getting under the tax is his job and he deserves a huge applause if he makes it. Sasaki would be nice..every dollar counts. The Jays have had a relationship with him for many years. Tho we already have the top SS committed too ...
Loss Atkins will do as per usual raise up the price for this player & another team with a real front office will sign Sasaki, or any other player. Jays front office are "PRETENDERS" all Atkins is good for is being a bargaining chip to raise prices & he too incompetent to spend Rogers big bag!💰 Atkins has been here for around ten years or so & all he's done is offend all the fanbase & completely ruin the main roster & farm system. But hey as long as the fans keep spending lots of money while in the stadium the same outcome will continue only the Jays may get 80 wins & be out of the post season again... As long as YOU fans keep going they will trick YOU again & again until you wake up & ST🛑P going & spending lots of money on this team. As long as Rogers sees lots of fans keep on paying for mediocrity he has no reason to change it. The fans are stupid enough to keep spending on a bunch of LOSERS. Only way Shapiro & Atkins get fired is if enough is enough & it hurts Rogers bank 🏦account! Money talks & Jays fans are foolish to keep supporting a front office who hasn't got a clue how to run a team! Ask yourself this important question... why didn't they drastically improve the Jays this time last year? What did they choose to do instead of making some trades for homrun bats they signed a bunch of has beens & washed up old players who had nothing left. They know hey the money from the fans are still coming in so why improve the team?? We'll just take all the fans money & give them a bad team instead.😂 This year they may win 80 games & still be crap!
I have all the hope in the world but realistically. Money won’t be a factor so it’s not like we can bid our way into contention. He’s purely looking at team, minor league, facility, and staff quality. We don’t have that
Stop! Just stop you guys. What a waste of time talking about the Jays being an option. Atkins shouldn’t even waste his time trying to be a “finalist”…..once again.
Seriously guys, this is Shapiro & Atkins you’re dealing with. Sasaki is not coming to Toronto, you know that and we all know that. Can’t wait until we get good news from the Jays…oh wait, that won’t happen!!!
I'm completely and utterly disgusted with the Blue Jays management/owner. No Bo or Vladdy, but believing for some reason that other stars will want to come here for ANY amount of money...chasing rainbows.
lets play a new game, instead of reporting on "what ifs" and "maybes" and "there's smoke over dem hills", lets just not report anything at all, we're all getting f*cking sick at this front office banging their heads against the wall and telling us everything is going A-Okay when we're likely going to be losing both Bo and Vlad and becoming a basement dwelling team for the next decade or so...
He will be a dodger Nobody wants to go to Toronto . In fact the stars they have orob want out themselves lol . We won’t sign anyone meaningful just like last year as long as this front office is there .
There we go again Blue Jays are interested in another free agent this have been going on since last year and who did they signed Joey Votto. This pathetic piece of garbage for an organization have no intention of signing anyone, it's all fake news to get all the morons who called themselves fans to renew their season tickets.
I have a larger chance of becoming ruler of earth than the Jays have of landing Sasaki.
The Pope said God himself told him the Jays aren't getting Sasaki
If I were Sasaki, I would look at how Atkins treats his players. End of story.
we're rooting for you lol
😂

My new favorite saying, " we are In On!" .....
@@robp.1345 or major report new reports incoming yadda yadda yadda
We're getting Sasaki for sure!

Come on guys we are dealing with Atkins here , you know he will never get anyone big , unless he is in the bargain basement store
It has become apparent that no player wanting to establish their brand in MLB would even consider Toronto.
Another big free agent, Sasaki, mentioned in talks with Jays but as Jays nation has come to expect, we have seen this movie before....always the bridesmaid, never the bride!!😊
The world baseball classic last time around the coach of Japan has a son who should be up for the draft soon he's amazing player keep your eyes on him
We need to sign some players for our bullpen. Some free agents include Will Smith, Chris Martin, Tanner Scott, Kenley Jansen, and Tommy Kahnle.

What about the guys were waiting to sign
This is getting silly.
no chance
Hahaha ohhh we are in on this guy to??? Where do you find these ridiculous assumptions , he definitely will be amazing just not with the Jays! Zero chance
I have a feeling The owners want to tear the Jays apart then adding free agents
Here we go again
'' given the blue jays lack of success in the off season" says it all.
1. Less media around the Jays
2. League best defence which will only help improve his numbers and get him a big payday when he is eventually an MLB free agent
3. The Jays don’t have a reputation for wrecking guys arms, their SPs aren’t abused and stay mostly healthy
I think these things would help attract Sasaki. I don’t think the Jays are favourites but I think they have a good chance
Less media? Uhhh... Ohtani's plane? Kawhi's helicopter?
@ yes less media than LA Dodgers and other big market teams
@@mcfarlac1 Dodgers and Yankees sure. Any other team no

Exactly what my post says
Agree. Nobody wants to play for an incompetent gm.
They jays aren’t getting any big names, Gimenez is the only move and just be thankful they even did that

Can you prove the Jays have a "relationship" with him? Get th3 f outta here with BS
@Phoenix114 I've heard BNS talk about it.
@Phoenix114 I'm not suggesting it's more than what a dozen other teams already have, or that it helps in anyway (because they likely won't come close)
@Phoenix114 Scott Mitchell has said it too. But he claims it's more of a connection through connections.
That's not how I heard it before
That’s all well good but can he hit?
I feel that know one wants to play for the jays.I also think the jays don’t want to sign anyone!
We all will be shocked if he does not go to the Dogers
Loss Atkins will do as per usual raise up the price for this player & another team with a real front office will sign Sasaki, or any other player.
Jays front office are "PRETENDERS"

The fans are stupid enough to keep spending on a bunch of LOSERS.
Only way Shapiro & Atkins get fired is if enough is enough & it hurts Rogers bank 🏦account!

Forget Sasaki. Focus on the hitting. This front office is brutal
Atkins is going to put you guys out of a job. Can’t be easy running a Jays channel when nothing of significance happens year after year
I have all the hope in the world but realistically. Money won’t be a factor so it’s not like we can bid our way into contention. He’s purely looking at team, minor league, facility, and staff quality. We don’t have that
Again, no chance. He's not coming. This is just another kick to the nuts.
Jays have no chance again
Stop! Just stop you guys. What a waste of time talking about the Jays being an option. Atkins shouldn’t even waste his time trying to be a “finalist”…..once again.

A’s shouldn’t try, Buffalo bison’s have a better chance then the A’s
sasaki should be priority one
Toronto isn't getting him with this front office, keep dreaming.
Of course they are. LMFAO. Next
Rodger’s should throw in a side deal where he makes like 20 million a year for commercials!!! lol
A pipe dream with Atkinson at the helm
He will be a dodger
Nobody wants to go to Toronto .
In fact the stars they have orob want out themselves lol .
We won’t sign anyone meaningful just like last year as long as this front office is there .
lol. No chance. Stop giving yourself false hope.
Get serious , going to the jays ? hahaha
There we go again Blue Jays are interested in another free agent this have been going on since last year and who did they signed Joey Votto.
