Signing with The Dodgers is lowkey pathetic….Shohei fine, but Yamamoto & Roki are clowns for doing so.

KD to the Warriors energy.

This times a million. I don't know how anyone can blame Jays management for this.

Pathetic clown says all this bullshit about not wanting to go to a big market, not liking massive media coverage, any team can win this!, wants to be his own man and create his own brand, then goes to the superteam everyone said he would go to before he even said any of these lies. Then also waits a couple of days after Jan. 15 to potentially shaft SD and TOR on their IFA signings on top of it. #Pathetic #Loser

Of course you can blame management for … 2 years in a row … putting all of their eggs in the wrong basket.

Plan a: sign the best free agent possible
Plan b: complain that a FA didn’t want to sign with you.

I would argue though that Ohtani is the best baseball player on the planet, why not go after him if you've got the money and he takes your call?

And Sasaki only cost international bonus money, shouldn't have affected Jays in free agency at all.

I mean there are reports they may have offered Corbin Burnes $250 million and thought they had him, but he asked his agent to call Arizona one last time and took $210 to play at home. There's only so much a team can do sometimes...

Ya I mean the problem isn’t that they went after these guys. It’s that they couldn’t close the deal and had no plan b.

They definitely have a problem closing deals this offseason, no question. But what if there is no Plan B? If you're talking about SP, maybe Max Fried I guess but there's a lot of injury risk there and the Yankees gave him a lot of years. At some point they figured Sasaki was Plan B. If you're talking about a bat, Alonso, Bregman and Santander are still out there.
 
Not surprised.

What a waste of time making that deal earlier to get more Intl money. Do they use that to poach some of the Dodgers signees? Does that give them a leg up to sign more/better guys?

Bergman, Alonso and Santander all have offers from the jay’s according to sources. Yet none have signed. Seems like the Jays front office is just getting played to up the price from other teams.

lol Myles Straw at 5+ million when you’re already tight on budget.
