OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Maybe not a proper comparison but this gave me flashback of "oil change" interviews. Also seeing Ohtani in LA Blue, I feel a bit embarrassed believing that there was a chance for him to sign with the Jays. Must he even more embarrassing for Atkins.

it seemed ridiculous but heavy hitting baseball media reported the shit out of it. It wasn't a Steve Simmons rumour or something like that.

the whole plane thing was cringe inducing though
 
Serven, Schneider and Vogelbach make Jays

I have to assume Vogelbach could still lose his gig to Votto with some combintation of the former struggling/not playing and the latter looking good in AAA, its effectively 1 year 4M commitment if they want to go with Votto over Vogelbach at this point

Schneider will not be up for long. He is ice cold.

He had his historic three weeks to start his career but has been a black hole of suck since.

Ehhhh....no

He went cold over the last few weeks of the season, but with his power and walk rate he still put up a 105 wRC+ (despite hitting .174) over Sept-Oct.

With how few sticks on this team have any upside at all, and his defence appearing to be plus at 2B, he should be given a bunch of rope despite the shit spring. If we've got room for IKF getting 400-500+PA while putting up a 85 wRC+, we should be patient with a guy probably capable of being a 115 or better bat.
 
i wouldn't have hated seeing schneider back in AAA to start the year, to take the pressure off and let him get his groove again. he's been terribad this spring.

otoh, Gausman is just fine.
 
I mean, the fact that they punted Espinal and Schneider is still a lock to make the team is giving him a lot of rope. If not for his potential and his hot start last year, he'd be nowhere close to the roster right now and would be back in AAA.

The biggest question right now on the roster is whether Turner will play in the field to get Vogelbach in at DH, or whether Vogelbach ends up pretty much exclusively as a pinch hitter. The rest of the infield I assume we just throw it all against the wall every game and see what sticks.
 
final spring stats. (extra players are included based on how much opportunity they got this spring).
