P.S. You don't need to speak French in Toronto, or anywhere in Canada, for that matter. Most of Canada speaks English as a first language. The only two large cities in Canada where it helps to know French are Quebec City (required) and to a lesser extent, Montreal (where it helps to know French, but is not absolutely necessary, as over 70% of the population can understand and speak English).
@@EndeavoursRadio I wrote that it was required in Quebec City (in case you missed that part). Also, if you're a tourist, speaking English is fine, as long as you're respectful and say 'Merci'.
Quebec hates anyone who speaks the english language.. i know first hand. they hate toronto for adopting the english language.. toronto is the nyc of canada
A player needs to speak French in Toronto as much as a player needs to be able to speak Spanish in Minnesota. Maybe 1% of the population can speak French in Toronto.
i always rolled my eyes at manifestation stuff until my friend showed up with this crazy new energy after reading Vibrations of Manifestation. they seemed more focused, more at peace, and things just started falling into place for them-like they weren’t chasing anymore, just attracting. it’s subtle but powerful. apparently, the book is hard to find because it keeps disappearing, but if you’re curious, it’s worth the hunt
The reason on why the players aren't going to Toronto more current state (over the last 2 years) has been primarily due to the instability in the long-term look of the team. i.e. Vladdy not signed, Bo not signed, farm system in not a good place. But, also, I believe that the culture on the team may not be in the best place with this current regime. I think more the front end of my thoughts likely the cause - but the team culture could be an issue too.
Yes I think that's the biggest reason. Boston got that last year and they had a good farm team. But the players weren't 100% happy because of no help from the front office and being cheap. Montgomery didn't want to come here. Teoscar wanted to but the Sox wouldn't spend Kenley wasn't happy with no help. The players talk and they know what are good situations and what are bad ones. Toronto is the team now without much support or wanting to spend on regular players and it has caught up to them. If Santander had more offers he might not have gone there. Hoffman went to two other teams before signing in Toronto. The Santander talk had gone on for weeks. I think he was waiting for offers that just weren't coming. They might get Alonso the same way.
All those issues are due to an incompetent front office. The way Atkins and Schapiro have constructed the roster, disrespected their star players and gaslit the fan base are all huge problems. Just this offseason alone, from letting Cleveland dump 2 unwanted contracts on the teams payroll to their inability to extend any players of consequence on the team, to finally depleting the farm system of almost all the talent, this front office has failed the team.
Exactly. The fact that they HAVE been able to sign guys in the past only proves that Toronto is a destination for many players. Great city, very passionate and supportive fanbase (many players have said that Rogers Centre is one of the loudest and most difficult places to play when the Jays are in contention), perhaps the best Spring Training complex in MLB, renovated stadium with upgraded player and player-family amenities. But what has changed in the last 24 months is the lack of direction from the front office and the subsequent results on the field. If Vlad gets signed and they have a good season, it's likely to that we see more interest in signing in Toronto next offseason.
Mattingly. Sounds dumb but hear me out. (I only partially believe this is any sort of issue) Yanks were brutal with him, despite his MVP play...the Dynasty started once he was done. (He was there part time for the first) LA won it all as soon as he left and Miami also made a good playoff run when he left. We lost our personality when he arrived. It's worth a shot to just boot him lol
It has become so difficult for Toronto bc as a Jays fan we all dislike/hate our own management here. Nobody like Shapiro & Atkins they've been in Toronto for ten years & haven't even won a playoff game yet alone push the chips all in to truly compete for a world series. Rogers has the money but the front office always seems cheap or not willing to go all in. Sure they made offers for Ohtani & Soto but let's be realistic they weren't willing to pay them both the most money! The Jays are in on everyone but seldom ever get anyone. They took so long to sign Santander knowing full well they knew they needed power upgrades idk why they waiting so long to sign power bats?🤨? Jays fans are completely frustrated from this front offices moves over the past ten years. Atkins always says the wrong things publicly he has no self awareness whatsoever which only pisses Jays fans off even more. As Jays fans we have all wanted Shapiro & Atkins to be fired years ago but they have Rogers fooled thinking they will go all in. The fact remains the Jays bullpen has always been a major issue & they had too many slap hitters the past few years. Hopefully they do what it takes to really compete. Even if they do those things I still want Shapiro & Atkins fired after this season. It's time for Jays to hire new front office management. Ten years of failure is way too long for Jays fans who have been suffering!
I mean the only teams that land the big free agents are LA and New York (Yanks/Mets), it's impressive they're always in the mix. Getting Santander for $18/year is a solid move, especially if they can lock up Alonso and a few other FAs.
Jays need Alonso or Profar or Bregman next bc they still need more power bats to really compete in the top of the AL. I would like them to get Alonso @ first & move Vladdy to third base.
On Santander people saying he is on the wrong side of his 30's? He is 31-32 he is still hin his prime haha STFU to those people saying that. He just dropped 44 homers last year, I get the avg, and the strike outs, but 44 homers is 44 homers
so, my friend wouldn’t stop talking about this book called Vibrations of Manifestation, and I finally gave it a shot. now, they’re making these crazy life shifts-better relationships, unexpected opportunities-it’s wild. they swear by the techniques, saying it’s more practical than woo-woo. the only catch? finding a copy isn’t easy; it’s like the book’s too powerful to stay available
you know how some people just seem to have everything fall into place? turns out, a lot of them read Vibrations of Manifestation, and they swear it’s not just about positive thinking-it’s about aligning your energy with your goals. my friends who’ve read it seem way more intentional and grounded. finding the book is tricky, though-it doesn’t stick around long, but maybe that’s part of the magic
i didn’t take manifestation seriously until i noticed my friends making moves after reading Vibrations of Manifestation. one landed their dream gig out of nowhere, and another found clarity to start their own business. it’s not some overnight magic, but the way they talk about aligning their energy makes me think there’s something real here. it’s hard to get a copy though-it’s like this secret everyone’s trying to keep under wraps.
Free agents are definitely coming to the Blue Jays. It’s just not the top ones. The flip-side to missing out on Ohtani and Soto is not committing $700 million plus to one player.
Omar Vizquel has almost as many gold gloves (11) as Dustin Pedroia has seasons played (14. 2 of those seasons he played a combined 9 games). Vizquel also has 1,072 MORE HITS than Pedroia. The Baseball writers are huge losers and have ruined this process. Don't give me any "off field issues" argument if you're going to vote for Pettite (steriods), Jones (Domestic issue himself) and Carlos Beltran who was the architect of the worst scandal baseball has seen since steroids. Why do the commenters need to call this stuff out? What are the hosts doing????
The idea that you think Jeff Kent is a HOF'er is ridiculous because there's no way Kent is even being mentioned without playing with Bonds who is excluded even though he's by far the best player of his generation and one of the best to ever play the game. It's time for the players to be the one who elect the players. And when try and argue that character is part of the process, Ty Cobb was the first elected and he was a racist, deliberately tried to hurt players and more, so if that's your gold standard then all bets are off.
Wth are you talking about dude? Kent finished his career with a 290 batting avg, 377 hrs and over 2400 hits!!! How many 2nd basemen in the history of Baseball do you think have those numbers??? NOT MANY, I can tell you that!!!.....You're F@cking right he's a HOF'er, his only flaw is defense, he's average at best but in the end, who cares?....LOOK at those numbers!!! That's a 2nd basemen!!!! I'm not even gonna mention the MVP, the numerous all star games and silver sluggers, lol.....
americans talk shit about toronto without knowing anything about it, or ppl have a bias about canada in general, which doesnt account for anything, but shit talk spreads and then half the world gets misconceptions about what its like and players feed into it
Taxes are the same as California, and you dont pay any if you're there less than 180 days. Weather is the same as NY, Chicacox Boston, Detroit....any city in the northeast.

Mattingly should be a HOFer
They are also spending 11 million per year for Hoffman and 4.5 M for Straw. Using those numbers they have about 17 to 18m to hit 50M.
You’re forgetting Garcia @7.5 and Gimenez @11
@ yip I did, so they have even less to spend unless they just don’t care where they are.
Jays need Alonso or Profar or Bregman next bc they still need more power bats to really compete in the top of the AL.
I would like them to get Alonso @ first & move Vladdy to third base.
Wow the canadians are really worked up about the whole french thing
Mark and Yonder can pass as brothers
You don't need to be a French speaker to get around in Toronto.
As a Mets fan I’d be really pissed and let down if they don’t bring Pete back and sign Profar.
Logan Webb throws 200 innings and theyre quality innings too
On Santander people saying he is on the wrong side of his 30's? He is 31-32 he is still hin his prime haha STFU to those people saying that. He just dropped 44 homers last year, I get the avg, and the strike outs, but 44 homers is 44 homers
He hit 44 HR in the easiest ballpark to hit HR’s
@CC-rg7mt - yup. And Yankee stadium, Fenway are band boxes too for left handed hitters. And he's not leaving the division!
@@CC-rg7mtBaltimore is no longer the easiest place to hit HR at all. They moved the fences

yeah
But they vote for pedroia who’s career is way weaker the Bobby abreu and Carlos Delgado.

Buehrle lol its the hall of fame not the hall of very good. And Pedrioa over ARod lol
