OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

“We love Bo. Bo has been an all star and one of the best hitters in the league almost since he started his career. Every team would love to have Bo Bichette. I’m not commenting on contract negotiations.”
 
Wtf is that? “I can neither confirm nor deny that we are talking to Bo, but I have definitely talked to him before. Maybe in this universe, maybe in another, who can know really?”
 
I've tried 3 times to write something ridiculous to riff on Atkins here and each one ends up not as ridiculous as what Atkins himself said.

How do you make fun of "I mean certainly over the course of his career and over time, we've had multiple interactions and beyond that"?

I've got nothing on that.

It’s staggering.
 

Which MLB front offices, managers and teams are under the most pressure? Insiders weigh in - The Athletic ​


MARK SHAPIRO, ROSS ATKINS, JOHN SCHNEIDER AND THE BLUE JAYS (22 VOTES): From the day they called up Vlad Guerrero Jr. in 2019, it feels as if the Blue Jays have been on the clock. But six years and zero postseason wins later, this seems like the year the alarm goes off.

What are the odds they can extend Vlad before he cuts off contract talks on Tuesday and prepares to head for free agency? What happens if they can’t? What are the ripple effects on Bo Bichette and the still-talented cast around them? The rest of the baseball world is intently focused on all of that.

What does it mean for the fate of a front office that feels haunted by all the stars it chased but couldn’t sign? Stay tuned. There’s a season to play. The fan base is watching. And that whopping vote total tells us the entire sport is riveted on every one of these plot lines — and how they affect the people who run this team and the stars whose time has produced more frustration than thrills.

“I don’t see anybody being under more pressure than the Blue Jays,” one longtime exec said. “I think they’ve got a lot on the line this year.”
