  1. Gotta feel for jays fans a little. Yesterday it was all but guaranteed he was going there. Today? They look like nothing more than a negotiating tactic.
  2. Yeah we were never doing that deal. Good for the dodgers. Seems like he was going there all along and used other teams to get the best deal.
  3. Not yet. Get back out there!
  4. If Ohtani ends up signing with the dodgers how mad are jays fans going to be? That would be the ultimate tease.
  5. Yeah I don’t think we’d let this leak out to a former player and announcer. Come on guys 🤣
  6. Don’t kid yourself! It’s still bleak for us.
  7. I respect Morosi for not taking the tweet down. Though, he may be headed to witness protection from jays fans at this point.
  8. Ive been rather bored and annoyed with how little has happened this offseason. But this…this totally redeems it! 🤣🤣🤣
  9. Yeah, someone is extraordinarily wrong here.
  10. I think this is the difference when you’re a “superstar” who can literally pick where he wants do go though. You can get extremely specific in what you want.
  11. Backup https://twitter.com/JimBowdenGM/status/1733248818957676711
  12. Oh yeah, I’m only talking “in-game”. Hitting in the dome will give him 81 games of completely consistent temperatures. Hitting in Chicago in April, or fighting the wind? Those can be challenges.
  13. I do think the weather in Chicago is one thing not talked about enough. It can be very rough in April.
  14. Yeah, I know people are likely to be very frustrated that we missed on Ohtani and I get that. Me? Truthfully, I’m more annoyed that we decided Yamamoto is too expensive for us. They preach and preach “intelligent spending” this and “paying for future performance not past” that, but when a 25 year old ace is available he’s too “expensive” for us. It’s dimwitted and embarrassing. But hey, we’ll probably acquire nice and safe (contract wise) Tyler Glasgow.
  15. Im not at all. You’re being an aggressive little snot for some reason and I don’t appreciate it. I’ve been down on Jed for years. I think he’s great at building a farm and beyond mediocre everywhere else. If I was pouting and mad I’d be a lot less rational and not saying things like “I hope you’re right and I’m wrong”. Which, again, I hope you are. So please, either speak to me like an adult or not at all.
  16. I’d assume this is done. He’s already met with them and (allegedly) toured their spring training facility. There’s been a lot of writing on the wall too that this is the outcome.
  17. I don’t need a “break” at all. I’m fine. Not even upset. I don’t trust him to do whats necessary. You might. Hopefully you’re right and I’m wrong. But it’s entirely possible (if not probable) he plays in the third tier of player acquisitions and were mediocre again.
  18. Yeah, I think tonight we’ll get the contract details to be honest. This has slowly been leaking out all day.
  19. Obviously have to wait and see how this all plays out. But I have ZERO faith in Jed to make the 2024 cubs better than the 2023 cubs. I think we’re in for one terribly disappointing offseason.
  20. Damn. We never should have let that legend go!
  21. Hello up there! I hate you now. 😁
  22. Just watched Heyman on mlb network. He said he’s talked to a few executives from the “5 remaining teams” and some of them believe he chose the Jays. He also said he has no idea what is leading them to that assumption. Speculated they might know something. Speculated they could just be reading twitter too.
