What are the chances he plays again? https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...o-guilty-sexual-abuse-gets-suspended-sentence
The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
If Roberto Osuna can still play after throwing his pregnant gf down a flight of stairs, Wondering Franco will play again.

Jays beat Boston by doing what they are good at. Not homers but contact and speed up and down the lineup. As it is the entire lineup that contributes this offence is sustainable and real all without Santander who I write off. Not sure when he is coming back and when he does he is right back to spring training.
Congrats to Mattingly as he is the batting coach for getting these guys driving in runs and bringing Springer and Kirk to perform.
A half year is a big sample size. Pitching is the bigger concern and lack of depth

I don't think a team will touch him. If Trevor Bauer can't get back into baseball without being convicted of anything, surely a convicted sex abuser won't.
He has to be allowed back into the US first. And I don't think he will be allowed back in to the US anytime soon.
That will probably solve the problem for MLB without having to say anything official.
4 HB is a bit of a concern.

I don't agree. This means he's not afraid to pitch inside. There are a lot of great pitchers in the top 100 for career HBP:

What stands out for me:
6'3", 210 lbs - excellent size for an 18 year old.
15.38 K/ 9 IP, or 1.7 strikeouts per inning.
5.86 K/BB. Greg Maddux: 3.37
2.63:1 ratio, ground outs vs air outs
4 GIDP induced in 12 opportunities.

Mind you, he's doing this in Rookie ball, but he's 2.9 years younger than the average player in his league.
Jays MVP so far
1 Captain KIrk
great defense in throws and framing the pitch for getting strike calls and handling pitchers. He hits ball hard and keeps it off the ground. Best high ball pitch hitter in MLB
2 Vlad
He is not a superstar homerun hitter and will never be
But, he seems good for 30 homers this year and hardest hitter in MLB. Has a very good OPS and is driving in runs and is not striking out so much and takes the walks as Springer and Kirk are supporting him
Those are the only two going to the all star game but I think Clements should
3 Berrios
Best ERA, best batting average against and most dependable as he always gives 5 innings or more which keeps the bull pen rested
4 Clements
Best utility player in MLB with glove and ball contact
Utility players are like long relievers as every club needs a great one but they go unsung
5 Bochette
having a come back year. Best opposite field hitter in MLB but there are too many great shortstops for Bo to make all star team
Honorable mention
Springer
canidate for comeback player of the year
Heineman
leads the team in OPS and is solid defense. Biggest surprise on the team and is the reason Kirk is doing so well as they can safely rest him
Barger
Second biggest surprise on team with power and average and a gun for an arm
Entire bottom half of hitting lineup as they are one of the best in MLB which is a very big surprise and the reason the Jays are doing better than the experts predicted and why the team will continue to score even when Vlad goes cold

The team has the right to send him on a rehab assignment in the minors for up to 20 days. He then has to be called up.
The Spencer Turnbull era in Toronto is over. The Jays released him.
I think Scherzer starts tonight against the(boo, hiss) Yanks.

When Capitan Kirk runs the bases he reminds me of Devon White. Devo is still with the Jays as a player development assistant. Which confounds me, why isn't he on The Level of Excellence? One stat stands out in particular, he hit 34 triples as a Jay, he made life easy for those batting behind him.
July 1 and they're one game out of first place, whoever would've thought that
Devon White was a good player, but he wasn't a great one. He only played for Toronto for five years and his numbers don't reach level of excellence status.
