OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

thank god we missed out on this poor value signing.

 

[zeke]

they musta found that sweet spot of shared risk.

 

[mbow30]

why the fuck can't shapiro and atkins speak english?

it's just a constant stream of bullshit and nonsense.

 

[Preston]

Next time Mrs. Presto asks me to pick up after myself I'm gonna tell her that I'm just trying to find the sweet spot of shared risk. It's a great line.

 

[mbow30]

these doofuses probably do a risk analysis before deciding to dookie at the office vs waiting until they're home

 

[manny]

One day they’re boasting about not having any budgetary constraints. The next day they’re talking about the importance of shared risk with the best homegrown talent they’ve ever seen.

5/90 for Yoshida.

This is absolutely one im okay with not doing.

The LH OF market is flush with more proven things

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

He is 19th in war over the last two years at 23-24. If they don’t sign him it’s a massive loss.

I assume he wants to be paid like a SS, and he might not be a SS.

His approach at the plate is also not likely to age well

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Well at least we have a chance at winning the lottery once Bo and Vlad walk

 

[Killer93]

Get Carlos Correa!

 

[MindzEye]

I tried to warn everyone.

Cleveland North.

 

[The Green Hornet]

Just think of all the years of control they can get when they inevitably deal vlad jr

 

[Leafin']

Yea yea and then quiet for a few weeks when they signed Springer, Ryu, Gausman in consecutive years.

this thread is hilarious.

If only team building was as easy as signing one guy and calling it an off season.

 

[Preston]

Come on, how could you not find the humor in "find the sweet spot of shared risk." Even if you are huge fanboys of Shatkins that is fucking hilarious, full stop. They are becoming parodies of themselves.

Lol yep. The classic Atkins comment about “42 years of control” when they sold everyone at the deadline in 2019 produced:

Thomas Hatch
Kyle Johnston
Derek Fisher
Anthony Kay
SWR (still a prospect! now in Seattle)
Curtis Taylor
Edisson Gonzalez

42 years of control has produced a combined -0.4 WAR.

Would have literally been better to just give them all away.

 

[mbow30]

sweet spot of shared risk = you guys get our good players; we get out of needing to pay them and a million prospects who will never be good.

 

[mbow30]

though it IS looking like the leafs may be on the right side of the sweet spot of shared risk with the sens on the murray deal

 

[leafman101]

i just hope glasses can find Matthews sweet spot.

 

[MindzEye]

i just hope glasses can find Matthews sweet spot.

13.5 million sweet spots, 8 times.
