they shouldn't have signed Straw before they were sure that Sasaki was coming. The Dodger cleared up money after they already got him
Rich Hill on a plane to Toronto
“Wants small market and to carve his own path”
Signs with the Dodgers and will be the 5th man in the rotation
The Bluejays were not the ex boyfriend. They were the weird kid that Rouki was nice too and they assumed Rouki liked them.
Dodger fan here, you guys are hilarious.
Sasaki is a rare case. He just turned 23 a few months ago, so it would've been beneficial if the Blue Jays had another Japanese pitcher like Ohtani or Darvish who could've helped Sasaki in the transition to MLB. But think of it in a positive way. The Blue Jays and Padres stayed as finalists when the Cubs, Rangers, Mets, and Yankees were eliminated. That is how good the Blue Jays and Toronto as a city is perceived...despite the cold winter. Since Sasaki is from the same prefecture as Yusei Kikuchi, I do suspect Kikuchi's advice was the reason why the Blue Jays were chosen as one of the 3 finalists. It's probably the same reason why Ohtani met with them as well. (Ohtani attended the same highschool as Kikuchi.)
I do feel bad for the Jay fans.
love the Jays, love you guys
The harsh reality is that the Dodgers are the place to be. We'll never know how close that bus was to pulling in here last year. Those Renos could very easily have been Asian themed..
We got our asses kicked at the top of the market, but who cares? We've never really had the top of the market, so being harsh for these misses is unfair. That's rookie fan mistake. (Good for you guys for keeping it level headed, despite the disappointment. Much needed maturity needed on here )
Emotional reset one week - back to Hoffman.
We still have work to do. Straw has put up similar WAR to Santander - last year was the exception. 30-1 SBs in AAA last year
We run now boys.
highlight of my week thanks fellas
Need Pete and Santander, I would be satisfied. This off season was nerve racking, but those guys would make it just okay at this point. To me, that is a playoff team given Baltimore and Yankees being a lil worse, as long as our old man starters keep doing their thing.
Avery you said 2025 you were getting in shape. Have you started?
Only stupid gullible people believed that storyline. EVERYONE knew he wanted to be posted to join the Dodgers. But since the whole MLB cries fouls after every signing, the agent had to make it seem like everyone had a chance. Those who believed he wanted small market don’t know baseball
Also, I heard the Dodgers will sign Santander on a 5 yr deal to pinch hit lol
I am 100% going into the season with the delusional why not us let baseball baseball mentality and we will see where we are in may/june
Trust you Johnny ❤️❤️
Bridesmaids!
fellas please tell me were getting santander this week
bang
I stg if Murakami signs with the dodgers next offseason I’m taking a break from baseball for a while
Come to st thomas on
What an underwhelming list of pitchers available next year lol and for the good ones, will any of them actually go to Toronto?? Doubt it
we got t's this week #injohhnywetrust
Love the show but no, you guys never had a chance at landing Sasaki. I just feel bad that your team was selected as the other throw-in team to make this look on the up and up lol.
Why are they letting things get leaked? A good GM would tell they agents, if anything even remotely leaks, we're out
Would bet it’s the agents not the front office
@Gate14Podcast if that's so, then tell the agent, if anything gets leaked, we're out on the player and in complete denial that we were ever in
Fire shatkins.
In all this Edward Roger is the biggest loser. And stupid for not firing this guy last year 😅
Hey Blue Jays front office...DO SOMETHING ALREADY!!!!! So sick and tired of talk, talk, talk...just F***KING DO SOMETHING! So bloody incompetent.
First
Guys... it IS shatkins fault for going after ununtainable players instead of signing Vlad! Stop being appologists for this fo!
Unattainable** and also they all considered it… no one can pinpoint when they are getting used or realistically not getting a player
There is NOTHING wrong with believing or wanting to believe in their team
If you don’t believe in your team than you ARE a fake fan
@@jpritch002I think it is a fair concern given the front office’s track record. I mean, remember the Derek Fisher trade? 😭 many of us wanted this management gone seasons ago.
Read the whole Agent qoute about small market. You will have to ask Roki. Roki never said that. Instead of raging at Roki. Look in the mirror. It is your management that is the problem.
Shatkins are american stooges. At this point, is Ed Rogers that stupid? Maybe Shat has dirt on poor edward.
Bo and vlad are gone next. Then gausman and bassit will be gone and this team will be incredibly unwatchable
