Jays 2023
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
I wonder who in the pen will get dumped to make room
Roster expanding by 2 tomorrow on Sept 1 from 26 to 28.
So nobody is getting dropped.
There was never any consideration given to trading Jansen. It was always about Kirk vs. Morena.
But we're talking about Phil. He has intellectual issues.
Back in 2022 Jays were gonna trade Jansen for a SP, but then Bassitt became available so they kept him.
Good thing too, his defence might not be as good as Moreno's but his bat and clutch-hitting make up for it
Report: Blue Jays might not trade Jansen after signing Bassitt
The Toronto Blue Jays had the idea to trade catcher Danny Jansen for a starting pitcher, but a deal is no longer imminent after the club signed right-hander Chris Bassitt, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.Toronto was reportedly expected to deal a backstop this offseason due to a strong...

Probably not. He just reached his innings # meaning he is under contract for next year. Best to keep him up and use him for trade bait in the offseason. You can't trade him for a bag of balls if he is in the minor (assuming he clears waivers)
Those two are OK for now as the roster size was expanded today.
When Swanson comes back they may lost a spot. Or if Manoah comes back which I don’t think is likely.
It is pleasing to see all the names now in thr Jays pen now vs beginning of year — Green, Hicks, Cabrera, Francis, Jackson. Francis and Jackson have been pleasant veteran low end leverage guys, Cabrera was acquired for nothing.
Beginning of the year the pen had guys like Cimber, Pop, Bass, Pearson none of which have been good except for short stretch. Also add Ryu who is more effective than Manoah.
Unfortunately nothing was done to improve the offence at all, and now that they are getting hit with injuries which was not that big an issue for most of the year it’s an even bigger problem.

I’m too busy being sick watching Guerrero round the bases after hitting his 20th like it was his 50th. 
Like shut the fuck up buddy as you rub noses with the elite and socialize like you’re an all-star……. oh yeah, he was an all-star and the home run derby champion. Easy to forget.

Yankees dressing 5 rookies tonight against Verlander and the Astros.
Hope they pull it out and help the Jays but those are some long odds.
Be that the Jays are still playing meaningful ball.

To me, that’s the only real way the Blue Jays can justify the trade and the value to this point. Start using him behind the plate. Although I don’t know the exact numbers, but I know his run saved percentage in the outfield is probably going to be the best of all time for a Bluejay.
Those kinds of stats mean fuck all to me especially when you watch a team and it’s frustrating because they don’t perform, and they lose.
Let’s hope they get hot in September finally, and shut us all up. No more criticizing. Let’s just sit back and watch good baseball.

It’s been said before, but boy is Matt Devlin a huge step down from Dan Shulman doing the play by play. It just feels like he is out of his comfort zone when he’s not doing the Raptors. Makes a lot of mistakes, doesn’t seem certain about the player’s names, has mystifying delays while speaking. Ben Wagner would be much better when Shulman takes time off.
Hit into 2 double plays. Once with the bases loaded and once with 2 on. And a strike out.Vladdy is shit
Kikuchi sucked.
The defense sucked.
