Special allocation fund was for 2023/24 budget, it might be a one and done thing approved by owner, you can't just assume this year's the same, especially after last season performance. Soto might be the second option, who knows, behind Ohtani last offseason, Jays was pending on the decision from Ohtani, and Jays don't have the prospects that Padre wanted. This was straight, so Soto was never an concrete option at that time. The reality is Dodgers can afford to sign both Roki Sasaki and Soto. Then the other bottom basement teams are only playing for regular season, and make sure revenue to cover the costs, hopefully let in some profit. Jays still needs players to fill in the spots of team, at least, fans are coming back to watch the game, and buy merchandises. So trading the aging starting pitchers won't get you much in return, the best timing would be trading deadline. And there is basically no one from minor league who can come in and do the job.
Settle down please ... watch, rerported John Heyman, Juan Soto on his way to Toronto on a private jet to sign contract, oops 'just kidding' signed with Yankees. LMAO.
Just based on the conversation where they mentioned to flip him and use the money to sign another starter. If we did that we should have traded him at the previously trade deadline where starting pitchers was getting traded as a premium. None of you remember how everyone wanted to trade bassist based on the returns but the jays didn’t want to trade him.
@@kingkylie571 yeah or they couldn't trade him because they would need another starter just like I mentioned and it's not like decent starters can be signed for much less. Maybe teams also didn't want Bassitt we wouldn't know as we aren't privy to those convos
Bassists 20 million is off the books after next season gausmans 20 million is off the books 2 seasons from now after the 2026 season so tjey have the flebilitys
The thing with trading for Soto is that you lose prospects and he's going to freeagency anyway and you can lose him plus your best prospects in the this cycle then the Jays would have to consider rebuilding.

instead of spending all that money on Soto, why not go for Santandaer, and have money left to fill the holes
Because Soto is a generational talent and is the only guy who can genuinely turn us into a playoff team on his own.
Is it your money?
Wake up. Blue Jays talk to every FA and it rarely goes anywhere. They even talk to guys who aren't good fits.
Geez guys..too much coffee !!!

Theyre saying he already its on a plane on his way there already from LA😂
No chance. Member last summer?
We'll win the world series for sure. Remember '91 and '92?
Should of traded bassist at the trade deadline where starting pitchers was an premium
Which bassist? Geddy Lee?
@@mikewalnoha8971 Haha
Okay and then they now would need to sign another starter. They already need one

What? They are not trading for him by
Jays need to improve everything. If they trade Bassitt then they need another starter because they have no depth
The jays arent getting Soto
