Thanks for the great info Jim Bowden ! Great job in depreciating the team Atkins and Shapiro now the blue Jays have to pay more for free agents because it is a bad team so you pay more for players which Jim Bowden told us in this video
1 Minute into this and everything out of Bowden was Soto isnt going to the jays. He might not realize it but everything about the opening conversation made that very clear. And I guess thats good cause its a bad contract for any team. This is not ohtani and the value isnt there. The only negative for toronto is the affect this has on Vlad.
I think federal / provincial government have a role in this growing problem to attract talent. Something needs to be done. We don't have a good answer to the tax/weak CAD problem other than teams throwing more money at players to compensate. What about some sort of legislation to carve out special tax rates for pro athletes that sign with Canadian teams? The upside could be huge.
@@jtrain30 think about the economic impact of having a team that sells out the majority of it's home games & makes the playoffs every year vs one that does not
@@drschultz I'd wager you would be hard pressed to find any research paper that would link the success of a sports team with the economic success of its home city. Happy to be proven wrong. Feels like we have bigger fish to fry than giving tax breaks to rich athletes...
Bowden is working off several false assumptions with his Sasaki comments. Yamamoto's endorsements were not high because he has a 1/3 a BILLION dollar contract. He was just focusing on baseball. So, if Sasaki wants endorsements, he will have opportunities to do so on his own and in conjunction with Yamamoto and/or Ohtani. Since they are friends, I am sure they would work with him until he gets paid. Not to mention, one can envision plenty of promos with the Big Three SPs from Japan. As for Yu Darvish, he is pushing 40 and will be retired, and living full time in Japan by the time Sasaki hits his prime in MLB. Not sure how appealing that is...
What if..... they lose Guerrero no matter what because he sees what u offered Juan Soto and Guerrero numbers are just as good or better in a lot of the batting statistics. Vlad might say I want 600M and jays don't value him like that? Or think they can get a "hometown" discount. If I'm vlad that's what I'm saying my numbers are just as good batting wise basically I want the Juan Soto contract.
I don't see any hope and future with this Jays' team next season, the only way is turn this around is that FO trying get as many young talents with hope they can turn into stars players which would attract stars free agents to sign here in seasons after. Besides, the weaken Canadian dollars does not do any good to the team's payroll and revenue.
Finally I know why he is "FORMER" GM in MLB

Jim Bowden is your best Blue Jays Information The other school kid youtube channels do not come close to Bowden"s good info.
Listening to this clip, you would think the Jays don't have a shot to get anyone of consequence, never mind Soto...
Sounds like facts to me. They've always had trouble to begin with. Add a weak farm system and being last place what's there to love
WHY in the blue hell are Atkins et al still allowed to make any Jays decisions.

upside for who? The multimillionaire players or the billionaire owners? Definitely no upside for the rest of us.

Be shocked if hes not a met
Bregman makes sense for the Jays because they love overpaying for Astros cheaters. It's a bonus that Bregman has a declining OPS
