It will look much cheaper than one would have anticipated around April 30, last year. His stock steadily declined over the rest of last season.Wonder what Chapman's deal will look like.

You're not wrong!It will look much cheaper than one would have anticipated around April 30, last year. His stock steadily declined over the rest of last season.
And maybe helped the Jays from making a big ($$$) mistake. They saw him up close and personal. He could not lay off the eyeball high heaters.You're not wrong!
One of the greatest April's in Jays history followed by an offensively putrid 5 months. Cost himself a lot of Shekels
His bat in the middle of the lineup last season was such a rally killer. And he wasn't moving runners with ground balls, fly balls, etc. Just watching center cut 95mph heaters blow by him.You're not wrong!

Can he hit clean-up? Lol.I'd read that they need to stretch him out to be a depth starter. He may not be ready until the 2nd half of the season.
It doesn't matter. Atkins already likes the group that they have.Can he hit clean-up? Lol.

oh boy it’s going to be a long summer with lots of men stranded.It doesn't matter. Atkins already likes the group that they have.
I was watching this game, and as soon as he didn't do the second arm bash I knew something was wrong.Wasn’t the story that Cody Bellinger hurt himself celebrating or something like that? Iast year coming back up again. He is highly recognized as a special talent across the league.

That’s crazy. It doesn’t look like Cody Bellinger has any real interest. Him and his agent are too stubborn to come down in asking price, and he has no takers. This is for a former MVP and World Series champion. Last I heard players on the Cubs were almost signing a petition to ownership to re-sign him lol.I was watching this game, and as soon as he didn't do the second arm bash I knew something was wrong.
If they really are looking for an 8 year contract then i would say there is no interest in him. I"d be ok with the Jays offereing a 3 or 4 year contract, but no more than that.That’s crazy.

It is possible to have a nagging injury that doesn’t necessarily keep you out of the lineup, but seriously diminishes your ability to perform well. Roger Clemens comes to mind in his last couple of years in Boston (The Rocket always comes to myIf they really are looking for an 8 year contract then i would say there is no interest in him.

Awesome. I was at the game against the Chicago White Sox….. I kept telling my friend, these Toronto fans have no idea who this is. I’ll never forget, he struck out Albert Belle with a called strike splitter I think for his last recorded out. I’m like wow this guy is for real lol. A team with Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Roger Clemens… I can’t believe they weren’t better than they were.I was a Red Sox fan from 1975 till the year they got rid of Roger. I even took off early from work to see his first game as a Jay.
Seems to be official according to twitter. If true I guess they couldn't come to an agreement with Chapman.Looks like the Jays might be getting Justin Turner (as broken by former MLB player Carlos Baerga, who I have know clue is reliabie or not).
If he can do what he did last year its a solid addition. Not the all the is great now guy, but he will help if he can get close to 2023 (which at 39 might not be that easy). 273/23/96 in the traditional stats, OPS+ of 114
I'm hoping the salary is reasonable enough so we can get one more hit first player.
That's a positive for me. Post April 2023, Chapman was useless at the dish. I'm not sure any player frustrated me more at the plate last year.Seems to be official according to twitter. If true I guess they couldn't come to an agreement with Chapman.
