This just got Even More INSANE… – Multiple Free Agency Updates | Toronto Blue Jays News

[Music] Hey, [Music] hey, [Music] hey. [Music] [Music] [Music] Folks, things just got even more insane as we have some breaking news as it pertains to Kyle Tucker and the Toronto Blue Jays that has some fans reminiscing of the Otani situation. but also just a ton of updates in general. Folks, one thing is for sure. I’m going to break it down on this live stream. Ton of stuff. We’re also going to of course keep you up to date. I have Twitter open on the side if anything breaks. It’s that time of year. We’re here again. This time following a World Series appearance as Shane. Welcome in everybody. Shane coming in with the five gifted members early. Shane, hope you’re doing well. Everyone who got a gift from Shane, make sure to thank him. Folks, if you miss what has happened in the past hour, I will dive into it all and it is going to be a uh a pretty crazy live stream. Shout out to Shane being a member for 31 months as well. But folks, I mean, the Jays are going, they’re already been the most active team in the MLB. And they got Dylan, of course, in the offseason. That is, they got Dylan CE, they got uh Cody Pon, and now folks, they are officially, or rather have officially met with Kyle Tucker. Kyle Tucker has been officially seen at the Blue Jays facility in Florida on Wednesday per Robert Murray. And there’s a ton of new updates to go over. We’re going to dive into them all in this live stream. We have a video coming out tomorrow very early as well. But folks, I want you all, everyone who’s in the chat right now, to leave a comment, yes or no if you’re ready to be hurt again or no if you are not taking any of these reports to her and just going to let it happen. Because type yes if you’re excited, you’re all the way in. Type no if you’re like, “Okay, I’m going to try to be super worried. I don’t think it’s going to happen.” Cuz I’m all the way back in. I’m ready to be hurt again. It happened with Otani. And I do have the timeline for the Otani stuff uh to kind of compare to this. But folks, this is notable for a few reasons. Now, obviously, a lot of people are going to say, and Shane, thank you again for the gifted members. It means the world to me. But a lot of people are going to say, “Okay, he just, you know, visited Toronto or Dun Eden rather. Wouldn’t everyone visit Dun Eden? There’s something to that which not a lot of people are talking about. What to dive into?” And I’m loving the yeses. I mean, may as well at this point, right? They’re coming off of a World Series appearance. there clearly. I mean, they spent $200 million on Dylan CE who’s a bit of a question mark. A lot of yeses. I love it. A couple nos in there. Um, thank you, Rob. I appreciate it. Eric, we are we’re officially on Tucker watch. And this is going to be I mean, this is now it was two years ago with the Otani stuff, I believe. And I mean, last year the the Sodto Roki Sasaki each year there’s always something on the go. But I am excited for uh I’m excited for this. Streams are always back, especially when there’s free agency rumors because my specialty is free agency. My specialty is rumors and things like that. So, keeping you guys up to date is what I do. And again, he was seen at the facility, right? He was seen at the facility. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, folks, how confident are you in Ross Atkins? Because if I would asked you this last year, y’all would have said one, right? It would have been horrible. How confident are we feeling in a scale to one to 10 surrounding Ross Atkins right now? Because I’m kind currently at like a eight nine. I feel very very good. Yeah, I also don’t think Tucker is going to be a Dodger, but it could happen. But the fact that I mean there’s a lot of different things to go over and we’ll dive into them all. But keep in mind, you can see here the Jays have already dropped 256 million on pitching already this winter and it looks like they’ve still got plenty to spend heavily invested in its facilities. So, it’s great that, you know, Tucker is there. Uh, six. Uh, of course, six, seven, 10, 3, 10, 10, 7, 8, uh, nine. Nine. Ross is throwing money around. What’s up, Leafs? Ross is throwing money. He’s overpaying, but getting his guys. I don’t know necessarily. I mean, I’m fine if he overpays Kyle Tucker. All right, we’re gonna A lot of spam going on here. Don’t need spam. at least I just uh the JZ at top. Okay, so basically to kind of give you guys fully up to date here couple different things. So, first of all, you obviously have this here, right? So, he is officially in um what we like to call, I guess, preliminary meetings, if you want to call it that, whatever you want to call it, right? So, he was seen at the facilities, which means at this point, what’s up, Sarah? Uh at this point, they’re clearly beyond preliminary interest, right? Because these things don’t get reported if it’s, you know, just preliminary interest. They’re clearly going in on Kyle Tucker, right? Very clearly. And what does that mean for Bob Bashette? We’ll kind of dive into that. But basically what this means now, so if they go out and they get Kyle Tucker, which I’m pretty confident in Ed Rogers is saying give Kyle Tucker as much money as humanly possible and just go all in. But regardless, that would mean they’re probably setting up for a trade for an infielder if they’re letting Bo go. I don’t think they’re going to get Kyle Tucker and Bo Bashette, right? I just don’t think that’s something that they’re necessarily going all out to do. Um, it just doesn’t I mean maybe I mean I would be over the moon but the fact that they’re meeting is notable because of what’s up Tom because of their facilities because of all of these different things they have. They spent so much money into their spring training facility of course showing it off. That’s why Shane Bieber returned all these different things. I truly believe here that the Jays have a chance to get Kyle Tucker. I really do. I believe it there. And you look at kind of what their holes are. You could put him in the outfield, one of the corner spots, and if you let Bo walk, and I want to ask you guys this question as well, because it is um it’s quite I don’t want to say controversial. Phil coming in with the $5. Thank you very much, Phil. Salary dumper feing up freeing up 10 to 18 million. Maybe that opens up for both Tucker and Bo. Phil, first of all, thank you for the $5. It’s an interesting point. Now, I mean, the question with that is, do they even need to free up that 10 to$18 million or can they get Bo and Tucker in general? Right. I do think a trade is going to happen for a starting pitcher. I don’t think it’s going to happen till probably the end of spring training. Um I think they’re going to like wait it out because injuries do happen. But thank you for the five. It’s a very good point. They could they could do that. Maybe Rogers Ed Rogers says, “Okay, get burritos. Let him go package him. Save some salary and bring both in.” There’s no salary cap. There’s no salary, you know, ceiling here. So Tucker is not coming to Toronto. He’s pulling Otani. Just trying to get a higher contract. Okay. So on that note, which we’ll dive into here in a minute as well. a lot to go over on the stream. If they get Tucker, I think they’re going to trade for another bat on the infield, a second baseman, whether it be Kito Marte, whether it be someone lower tier. I think there kind of two avenues now are you let you don’t get Kyle Tucker, you resign Bo, and then maybe, you know, sign or trade for, you know, an extra bat or just kind of to have or you get Kyle Tucker, you pay more money for him and then you trade for a guy like Catel Marte or somebody else there. I don’t think there’s a world where they don’t get one of the two. I just don’t think that’s how they’re operating, especially when you’re giving up, you know, $256 million on pitching already to two not unproven. Dylan CE is very proven, but two of the riskier arms, right? And that’s where things become interesting to me. And there’s rumblings about a lot of different players. But again, the fact that they are in on Kyle Tucker is notable. Also, if you’re new here, make sure to hit that like button. I am refreshing Twitter as we speak and there are a lot of things coming out. So, in case you missed it again, uh Kyle Tucker did officially visit the Blue Jays. If you get Tucker, you would have two unbelievable unbelievable bats. One being a lefty, one being a righty in Vlatty and Tucker. Cory Seager is an interesting one. Now, I mean, that would be a dream, right? You get Tucker and Seager. I don’t know if I want to go that, you know, crazy, but I mean, obviously I would, but I’m saying get my hopes up, but it’s um I mean, if they and let’s not let’s not remove the possibility of Tucker and Bob Bashette. It is possible. And I want to make that very clear. It is possible, but not likely. If you’re new to the stream, hit the like button. Let’s try to get to a 100red likes. I make Jay’s videos every day. Going to go live now multiple times a week here, especially as we get down the stretch. And this is all not even accounting for the Edwin Diaz stuff. And I just want to take a moment here. Is anyone else actually like I’m loving this off seasonason thus far. Are you guys as excited as I’ve been? You come off of a World Series disappointment in the sense of the way they lost was heartbreaking and they come out and they just spend like they are showing that they are ready early. And it’s notable that Kyle Tucker, I’ll dive into something in a minute here. It’s notable that Kyle Tucker is meeting with the Jays this early. The Jays seemingly want to get their business done fairly quickly. Um Cody Bellinger is an interesting one. Maybe if they get Bo, they can get Cody Bellinger and kind of put that money together. There’s reason for optimism and there is the Otani stuff. There’s all these different things that used to happen. The Sodto stuff, they’re not being used as leverage. It’s just I mean ultimately everyone who doesn’t get signed is technically used as leverage, right, in some capacity. But I promise you guys, the Jays are all in. And this is my favorite time of year, man. We get to aside from the World Series, you get to refresh. I get to refresh Twitter. We get to react to stuff live with you all. It is crazy. It’s also notable that no other team has at least reportedly been visiting with Kyle Tucker, right? Like no other there’s hasn’t been a report about the Red Sox, the Yankees, all these different things, or the Dodgers. Makes things interesting. Ryan saying if he lives near the facility, why wouldn’t he check it out? He does live near the facility. But keep in mind like there was and especially over the past few years like there’s been talks about we didn’t get a report last year that stood visited I don’t believe at least visited the Jay’s facility. Same with Roki Sasaki though I think Roki did. When reports like this come out they’re from somebody right now. Whether this is from Kyle Tucker’s agent so that way other teams have a bit of pressure on them whether it’s from the Blue Jays internally to I guess I don’t know be confident. There is clearly a reason that this came out. Now, it could just be visiting because he’s close to Toronto, but that’s or close to Dun Eden. That’s not the case, I don’t think. Now, there’s been a lot of reports even since then I’ll be covering in my video tomorrow morning. It’s beyond just surface level stuff. The money is what it’s going to come down to. Are they willing to pay 400 million or 300 million? Are they willing to get, you know, Boba and Kyle? I mean, if they get Boa and Kyle Tucker, I would lose my mind. I want you guys to type one or two in the chat, okay? one or just type Bo or Tucker. That’s fine. It’s easier. If you had to pick and we did this live stream a couple weeks ago last stream, if we had to pick one between Kyle Tucker and Boette, all things equal, who would you rather on your team? Who would you rather the Jay sign? One for type Bo or just type Tucker. If you had to pick one player for the Jay sign for me, it’s Tucker easily. I think he’s a better player by a fairly big margin. There is some other intangible stuff that we have to dive into, but I know a lot of people are saying Bo, but I am like I think Tucker is objectively the better player and that means they’d probably trade for an infielder, but it seems a lot of people like Bo. There’s obviously the fact that, you know, the Bo and Vlatty thing and Bo is, you know, a fan favorite. I don’t disagree with that. Okay, it’s fairly split with definitely more people leaning B. Now, Bo is a great player. Fantastic. and he, you know, he’s known him with Vlatty. They had that fit there. Tucker is a better defender, a better hitter because of his power and you could also get an infield. He just fits with this team needs and he’s a lefty. Like, oh, I can’t even I love Kyle Tucker right now. I also don’t think Bob Bashett’s going to leave, which is one of the weirder things, too. And if they can somehow pull off both, I would be uh I would be surprised. Um, I’m reading some things that are flying here. Okay. So, I love Bo, but it’s Tucker. Exactly. Chargers. So, Ben Nicholson Smith 20 seconds ago dropped an article basically saying that he is confirming that they met with Tucker. Um now he’s saying it’s a relatively standard part of the recruiting process but they are genuinely involved in Tucker and the Jays also have interest in Boba who’s hitting free agency for the first time and extremes un appears unlikely the Jays would land both and it’s possible they don’t land one of them though it seems you know okay so that’s interesting now keep in mind anything you read online especially with Ben Nicholson Smith he’s always trying to hedge his bets a little bit through uh you know hedge his bets a little bit but something to Keep in mind here they did meet with Tucker, but Bo but but Ben Nichols admit to saying they could potentially not get either of them. He’s but he’s always been saying that he’s been playing it fairly low, which is uh or fairly slow, which is not ideal. I don’t uh I don’t love that, but it’s possible. Now, with all that being said, let’s look at the timelines here. Now, I’m pretty confident they’re going to get one of Bo or Tucker. and Bent Nicholson Smith is saying they might not get either or they they’re heavily involved in Bo. I think at the very least they’re going to get Bo Bashet back. You know, Keegan Mat had a report earlier tonight about basically just that. And of course, if you missed any of the other reports like bullpen is a priority, all these different things. Let’s look at the timeline of last or two years ago, the Otani pursuit because it is fairly notable for big free agents like this. Otani was much bigger than Kyle Tucker is um and he will be ultimately. Absolutely, Tim. I I can absolutely it’s a great idea. We’re also 35 likes away 45 likes away from 100. If you all if you’re in here, just click the uh click the like button. Yes, Phil, he he did and I’ll be covering that in a video at some point tomorrow. A lot of stuff to cover. Um there’s a lot of players. It is a crazy offseason. Probably the craziest one since Otani for me. But looking at it here, so on December 4th, it was reported, I believe around the same time, but it was from Ken Rosenthal that Otani had visited the Blue Jays facility. Okay, that was reported on December 5th and he visited on December 4th. And then on December 8th, there was the whole Otani on a plane debacle, but not actually. And then he signed with the Dodgers before winter or during winter meetings on December 11th. Keep in mind, winter meetings start on Monday. So that would be, let me have a look here. December does anyone have the we calendar. So December December 8th is when meetings start. which was in the first day would technically be the first day of winter meetings back in the Otani stuff. But it’s notable that this came out a couple days before winter meetings because it’s suspected that he’s going to sign within the winter meetings. If they are getting reports now about them visiting, which was today, they could be dealing with some contract stuff before the winter meetings start. And if it lines up with Otani, which again, it’s not a one toone comparison, but just, you know, in the meantime, it’s something to keep an eye out on. And again, it’s not a one for one thing. This isn’t to say the Jays are going to be, you know, actually getting Kyle Tucker for sure, anything like that. At the same time, it is very, very notable. It is very notable. Uh, the visited facility is exciting, but also a standard practice for free agents. Don’t fall in the trap of thinking it’s a big development. Lots of hoops to jump through. Yeah, like I said, at the end of the day, most free agents, especially ones involved in Tucker, are going to be, you know, again, they’re going to be seen at the Jay’s facilities. It is notable last time a big report came out like this though, that, you know, one of the guys or any of the players rather were seen at a facility. Of course, the Otani stuff. Um, but again, this was going to I think for me it’s more so the way it’s being reported is a little bit exciting, but again, always uh always take it with a grain of salt here. They could. There’s always the leverage thing and uh and everything like that. Tucker and Cody Bellinger. That would never happen. Two outfielders. I can see us getting Tucker for a shorter term, more money annually. I think Tucker is going to go for the most money he can get and probably term like he’s in a position to where he can get whatever however many years for $400 million or might be 300, whatever it would end up being. But again, the fact he’s at the facility, good sign. Can’t be a bad sign. It means there’s genuine interest between the two. Um, Rogers is going to make a ton of money if they make the World Series again. Spend the money. I mean, they already made, I think, forget who reported like 50 million or something like that. 50 uh 50 million. We were first. It’s the fact we were first. Yeah. I mean, you could argue I mean, that’s why I’m all in. It’s because they they were the we don’t know for sure that they’re the first team to visit that were the first team that he visited, right? We don’t know that for sure. But what we do know is that we were the first reported team to visit, which is the same thing that happened with Otani. And according to all accounts and what I heard as well, like they were 1B to Otani, though again he was probably always going to go to uh to LA. Could see Tucker and a Palano with Suarez in the pen. Yeah, like that’s realistic. And yeah, again, if they get a Tucker, they’re going to have to replace B in the infield as well, unless they want to go, you know, they want to move guys around. You have Clemented second, Bger at third, Bo, or I guess you can’t even do that because you have Bo if Bo would be gone in this scenario. So, yeah, you could do that. Clement second, Bger third. Scott Boris being both cease and Tucker’s agent is huge also. I mean, the Jays have had relationships with Scott Boris now for a very long time, and it’s actually finally being successful. Yeah, Roki. I mean, that was the unfortunate thing. I was there a tweet like this about Roki Sasaki. I think he was just, you know, that’s a good question. I don’t remember the I know it wasn’t an individual tweet. I think he was spotted in Dun Eden, but along with a bunch of other ones like it wasn’t just a solo tweet about specifically Kyle Tuck or Kyle Tucker or in that case Roki. Which reliever do you want the Jays to go after? Pete Fairbanks? No. I think for me, I mean, Edwin Diaz won, Suarez two. I don’t love uh and SW is old as well like he’s he’ll be 35 36 so comes off the books after next year. I’ll switch to Raj and see if they get Tucker. I mean a lot of people are saying that I would do some crazy things too. Sh was recruiting his boy hard. Does Tucker have a wife? Which is true. Yeah. Miles Shaw is from their time in Houston. I believe they’re I don’t want to say friends. I don’t know their full, you know, situation, but they’re acquaintances at the very least. Um, let’s concentrate on signing Bob for anyone else. No Tucker, no anyone. That’s the interesting thing. Like it’s I I think it’s one or the other. Now again, Ben Nelson Smith is portraying it as one or the other Ben is going to BNS fantastic reporter. He’s going to always downplay things a little bit, right? We’re also 24 likes away from 100. Um, what’s Kucker’s demands contractwise? I believe between 300 and 400 million over probably 10 years or something like that. Maybe a little bit more, a little bit less depending on what’s happening there. How um how do you feel Santandere is going to perform in 2026 comeback season? I think he’ll be solid. I think he’ll be much much better than people think. Uh I mean people kind of wrote him off because he had his bad year. But when you look at it like he’s projected to get 39% of right field and then what 40% of DH like he’s going to get a lot of uh he’s going to get a lot of time. I think everyone is saying one or the other because they don’t think we are going to spend like that but we’ve never been this close. Who knows what Rogers might be thinking. Yeah. It’s unprecedented territory for this core and for our lifetimes World Series wise. Um, and again looking at kind of I’m just restarting refreshing Twitter here as well. Looking at what do you think about uh if Tucker means breaking up with Vlatty Vynamic then no thank you. You put the extra money into pitching. Again, that’s kind of the um that’s the interesting part is do you would you rather I much rather Tucker than Bo. There’s people who’d rather bow than Tucker. There’s a lot of different avenues here to explore specifically surrounding, you know, at the end of the day here there. I’m confident they’re going to get one of them. There’s a chance they don’t, right? There is always that chance. Going back to Seager, Texas put money into the deal, maybe get the salary to hit around 15 million. Pair that with Tucker signing and trading away Burio. We hit 100 likes. We’re a we’re nine away. Heard rumors that Tucker was Shaw’s best man at the wedding. I mean, if that’s true, then bring him home. That would be crazy. Um, I’m looking at again, in case you missed it, I’ll just throw it back up. Tucker was seen at the Jay’s facilities. Shett almost going to uh Yeah, I mean, he almost got a batting title, missing a month. Bo is a fantastic, and don’t get me wrong, I want Bo to return. If it’s between Bo or Tucker, I’d lean Tucker. But that’s also because I believe if they got Tucker, they’d replace Bose’s production, somewhat of it somewhere. What’s Tucker going to sign for? Again, we don’t know for sure. Between 300 and 400 million key math when he was on my uh on my show tried to insinuate it would probably be a little bit less than a lot of people think, though. Again, you have to assume the market for Boba is a bit smaller, at least moneywise and valuewise, than um Kyle Tucker. CRA of 455 in 2025 and 210 million should have went to Bow. Many starters get a cease without paying 210 million. I disagree. I’m a huge deal in Case Sky, but to each their own. Uh there’s some possibility of signing both Bow and Tucker. We would have Vlad B, Tucker, Kirk, Barger, Gimenez all locked into younger than 28 years old for the foreseeable. I mean, that would be a dream, right? If they get him, that would be an absolute dream. Though again, I don’t think they’re going to get both. Just to be clear here, I mean, I’m still leaning towards them probably getting Boba Bashette over Kyle Tucker, but we always like the notable developments. Jays are preemptively acting first before winter meetings. Does this continue before Monday? I think that if you mean green Marvel monster, clarify what you mean by does this continue. Do you mean them spending or do you mean them being interested? I think most of their moves now are going to come within the winter meetings on Monday. We might get a signing before then. I mean, if they get Tucker before winter meetings, I just don’t think it’s going to happen. I think, you know, December 8th or whatever it is, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that’s when things are really going to get crazy. I wouldn’t assume so, Jonathan. I’d assume Tucker’s well gone. Now, I don’t know if a signing maybe a reliever I could see a reliever happening like a Pete Fairbanks to the Jays or something of that nature. Ranger Suarez or Robert Suarez, sorry, happening before winter meetings. I don’t know if any of the big boys sign. I think Bob Bashett’s probably probably gets, you know, delayed till January. Uh, is Tucker still at the Blue Jay? You think Brios is gone? It’s a good question. I think that they’re going to wait until the wait till spring training. Get a feel of how things are going there. If any injuries happen, Burios will be there. If there’s no injuries and everyone’s healthy, yeah, I think he’s going to be traded. Little uncomfortable conversation. Would anyone think it could be a good idea to trade your Savage and other package for Scubble? Perhaps you should go for a mega a mega buster deal or try to free up cap and trade Santiner Bris. I don’t think they’re going to trade trade a Savage. I mean, it’s obviously a fun conversation to have. We finally in theory hit on a rookie pitcher and like a prospect. He’s untouchable in my mind. Thank you, Patrick. Means a lot. Means a lot. Your guys support Tucker and Bo are injuryprone. giving me anything over six years is scary. I don’t care. Go for it. Probably win another World Series. Where does Bellinger go? The Mets Yankees are I mean, reports are coming out that like the Yankees are going after nobody and that they’re really going to stand still. And if that’s the case, again, the AL will be wide open again. Obviously, they’re getting Garrick Cole back. He’s 35 years old though. You know, the Red Sox, who are they going to get? Are they going to bring Breman back? Probably not. Like, there’s a lot of different things happening there. It’s wide open. Wide open. I think if we get Tucker and Bo, perhaps Roger’s going to try to win both Santinerea burritos. Yeah, I I don’t know how much like if they’re going for Bo and Tucker, I don’t think they’re going to have to trade to like get off of money. Like I think they’re just they’ll just take the money. Ross extended Brios sign. Dare these things won’t happen. Please get more creative. You’re not wrong, Michael. No, I’m not going to say better. Bit more positive. I love each and every one of you though. Even the even the quote unquote haters. That’s okay. It’s part of the uh part of the business. Buffer’s picker hits two and plays Tucker’s position. There’s a lot of stuff coming out, folks. A lot of stuff coming out. And keep in mind, videos going out tomorrow probably 8:00 a.m. Eastern with a ton of stuff. reports are going to come out in like 2 3:00 a.m. It’s just the way this these things are. So, if you want to wake up when you wake up, check my channel. There’ll be a video out right away for you all. And if you leave a comment that you came from the stream, I’ll hurt each one. I do read every comment. Um, every arm is fresh. No problem, junk. Anytime. Can avoid a $300 million plus payroll, but they don’t want to have a $350 million plus payroll. It’s a good point, right? I well we don’t know that for sure. We don’t know how much they’re willing to spend. We saw how emotional Ed Rogers got when they almost won the World Series. He seems excited. I think the next acquisition is Fairbanks. I wouldn’t I wouldn’t doubt it. Uh Nick, who will sign Sherzer ambassador? It won’t be the Jays because of C and Pots. Ah, that’s a great question. I don’t know the answer to that question. I don’t. Thank you, Sarah. Any chance that Jays get one? Yeah, I do think there’s a chance, but like it’s all about managing the payroll to a degree. Like clear there’s obviously a limit. They’re not going to spend $2 billion, right? And Edwin Diaz is going to costundred whatever 20 million maybe maybe a little bit less than that. It’s going to be interesting. MS with the $699 and Junk with the $2. I’ll get to both of them. We’ll start with Ms. I know getting both guys, but if you think about it, $47 million is a lot of stuff coming in here. Jason as well. Okay, we’ll start. We’ll go through we’ll start with MS. I know getting both guys, but if you think about it, $47 million is coming off of the books next year, which makes it only one year at its high payroll. It’s a good point. It’s a very good point, MS. And ultimately, are they willing to spend that? They have the money to do so. Thank you for your donation. Junk with the $2. Thank you, Jason Stanley Meadows, I think it says. Thanks for the heads up, bro. Appreciate it. Jason, thank you for the uh for the $5. Each and every one of you guys supports been unbelievable. Shane as well, thank you. Thank you, Meep. It was a lot of shoveling. A lot of shoveling. It was Meadows. I got it right. Thank you, Jason. Thank you to everyone. And it’s a very good point as well by MS. I think I’m pronouncing that right. Let me know if I’m not like it’s but I don’t know how much money like obviously money at the end of the day matters. I mean, they’re a business, right? But I have a weird feeling that like I don’t know. Ed Rogers just seems like he’s ready to go all in. Paul from Toronto with the 279. Thanks for the daily updates. Thank you for uh for being in the stream. Thank you, Hero. Uh, Hiro Sasaki. That’s kind of the goal. Upload every single morning for you all so you can wake up, get your coffee, whatever you’re doing on the way to work, at school, wherever it is at work and watch the uh or before work rather, and watch the uh watch the videos. It won’t stop anytime soon. Every single morning, and then of course, usually another video throughout the day as well. Um, no, Peter, I’m not. Thanks again, Paul, for the 279. Um, imagine if we could get Bo Tucker and Diaz. I mean, I’d lose my mind. Again, here’s the timeline for the Otani stuff. I wasn’t Al. I had uh I had planned to do it, but stuff fell through. We do not need Tucker as much as Vlatty and the Jays need. Boit’s cleanup provides protection for Vlad. Bo had one of the highest runners and scoring position stats in the MLB last year. He is clutch and hard to replace. It’s all good points and I I don’t disagree, but I’d argue Tucker’s better protection for Vlad than Bo is just because of the fact that he is a unbelievable lefty hitter. Now, Bo is a better contact hitter, better with runners and scoring position, whatever. You could argue that as well. I’m not disagreeing with you, but do you think the Blue Jays are going to get Tucker 100%. No, not 100%. No way. I’d say 30% chance as it stands right now. Maybe a little bit more. And again, Tucker provides more power than some of the other guys, right? That’s kind of the big difference. But also, not even just necessarily more power, just he’s a more complete hitter. Thank you, Rob. It’s the goal. They’re not stopping anytime soon. Uh, and again, this is the Otani timeline if you guys want to have a look at that. In case you missed it, he was seen at the Jay’s facility. This was a couple hours ago. We don’t know exactly when he was actually seen at the facility. We just we know it was on a Wednesday, which is today of course, but at the same time, we don’t know if it is, you know, if it was this afternoon. I’m sure a lot of other teams will be like he visiting or rather he’ll be visiting other teams facility. If we lose Tucker and Bo, who can the Jays go after after missing a bat? Kyle Schwarber. If they don’t get Tucker or Bo, things get a little dicey. I mean, you look at the positions of need here, which we can do together. Um, like, yeah, I guess Kyle Schwarber could be interesting, though. There’s not a ton of, you know, options there for, you know, where he’s going to play. I think if you miss out on both, you probably make a trade for a big bat. Heno Suarez is available. He can play third. Does that fix what the Jays need to add some power for sure? Power for sure. Uh, Uh, we need a true leadoff guy when Springer’s gone. I mean, again, you can’t account for Springer to have the year he had last year. You kind of have to hope. Take it easy, Al. Thank you for tuning in. Video tomorrow. Yep. Probably a stream tomorrow as well. If you guys want one, you can let me know here in the chat now if you want more more active streams. I feel like every time I ask that, everyone says yes. But Nick, what’s the percentage of Toronto getting bow? Again, like it’s hard for me to put a number on it. From what I can gather, like I’d go 60 60% on them getting Bo back if I had to if I had to gather. Was there talk with the Jays and Michael King? Yeah. So, Ben Nicholson Smith dropped an article about three or four hours before Cody Pon’s signing and he said within that that they can get Pon or they’re going to be active in Michael King. They’re not going to get King now. They chose Cody Pon. So, they they they did have interest though. Yeah. Yes, in the live streams. Okay. Hoping for a big bounce back from Santandere. It’s easy to see. I mean, he wasn’t like he was bad when he was healthy, but I don’t even think he was fully healthy for much of that year last year. Even when he was healthy. And again, if they go out and they miss out in Tucker, they get Bo, you could always make a push for Cody Bellinger, who the Jays seem to like and have liked for a while. So, notable. Imagine Springer just I mean if he competes for the Silver Slugger this year I’d be over the moon. I’m curious to see how he does. And again I think a if they get if they get a Kyle Tucker they’re probably going to have to trade Nathan Lucas or somebody like that. Ms. Just want to say good for sticking with it and creating this community. You deserve all the success we’re having. Salute brothers. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. It’s it is the best Jay’s community on YouTube in my mind at least. You guys are fantastic. It’s always it always comes through in the streams and the videos as well. Thank you. Thank you very much. It’s uh it’s been a great few years and it’s been even better now that they won the uh almost they almost won the World Series. My head I would almost said won the World Series which they did. Thank you very much. It means more than you ever know. Thank you very much. Like a traditional leadoff hitter for Toronto. Last guy was Jose Reyes. Reyes. I mean Marte can maybe do that. Hello from Windsor Ontario. Good spot. Is there a world where the Jays get Bashette and Tucker? I’d say there’s a world. A very low percentage chance, though. I don’t think that’s a likely outcome. Mikey, thank you, Jonathan. Take it easy, Sarah. Our pitching will be better. Just sign Bow and let’s do this again. It’s not a bad shout. I do think they need another bat, probably. Would you rather get Edwin Diaz or spread the money over two high-end relievers instead of one elite one? I’d rather get Edwin Diaz. Edwin Diaz. Where do you project that Suy Mitaki Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto could be alternative options outside of Bo Tucker? Um, I don’t know exactly. I don’t have predictions on where they’re going to go. I don’t think the Jays are involved in Tatsu Mai. I’d say there there are a lot of teams out there. The Giants I think were one of them. Morakami and Okamoto. I think the Jays are more likely to get Okamoto or even Morakami. If they strike out on everyone, those guys are options. But Jays want outfielder Quan from Cleveland to lead off. They get Steven Quan. I had a video on him a week or so ago. Would be interesting. You think Ramirez is available? No, but Ross Atkins loves his trades with Cleveland, so he would be the first one there. Also, we hit 100 likes. Thank you guys. We’re almost at 150. I think they’re going to extend Ver show. I do think they’re going to trade Nathan Lucas this summer, though, especially if they get Kyle Tucker. If they don’t, probably not. But if JRM was available, I think J would have already had JRM. Tend to agree. I tend to agree with that. Man, I can’t believe we’re doing this again. I’m all in again. My delusion is shining through once again. I don’t think it’s delusion. This the best part of being a fan at the end of the day. I mean, Tucker steals bases, great contact, good power. Verso, Brio’s prospect, and cash for Quan. Shane, I don’t even think I’d trade Varo for Quan straight up to be honest with you. I like VO more. If we get Bow and Tucker, isn’t it very unlikely to get Owen Diaz? Like, in theory, yeah. But like, who knows with this team. Keep Lucas trade Santandere. They’re not gonna trade Santandere. They’re gonna extend. I’m pretty confident they’re gonna extend Bario. They love him and he he is underrated by Jay’s fans. He had a great year last year. Was horrible in the play in the World Series. Sure. Should have won them the World Series multiple times, but I think he’s going to stay. And I’m also hoping that Andre Mimenez plays shortstop fulltime next year. That adds a ton of value to him, to what he brings. I mean, we saw how good his defense was. He got them to a World Series as their shortstop Turner or Turners. I like discussed maybe like I don’t actually know maybe like Ricky Tedman and then some other guys like Burio even. I don’t even I don’t think it’s super realistic though. Sammy, you want to show my appreciation? Love your content because I love your content. Thank you, Sammy. You guys support. You’ve been so positive today. Means the world to me. Thank you guys. It’s a good question though, Shane. Like I don’t know. Deferred money is the key to get Tucker and Bo. You are correct. Think we get Bo, Tucker trade Jimenez and a prospect for Catel and we signed Edwin Diaz. It’s going to take a lot more than that for Catel Marte. Unless the prospect is like Treya Savage. 150 likes. We hit it. We’re 11 away, folks. Sign Tucker swap from our swap from Arteabrio’s Lucas to Mala King cash. That’s more realistic. Yeah, like it would take something like that. probably even a little more but because other teams are going to go all in for Catel now. Johnny King’s a great prospect. Arjent Amala really good prospect. Nathan Lucas I don’t know how much value he actually has. Bios can opt out after next year but it’s notable. It would be a trade. Yeah, he would fit well and that’s why the Jay’s been linked to him every uh every offseason. Um what’s the most important what’s most important is keeping the clubhouse vibe. Bo is central to that and Ce is a great addition. Mark that’s a good point. That’s the strongest thing I think surrounding Bo Bashette though according to all accounts Kyle Tucker is a great teammate and great clubhouse vibe. So, and Miles Straw, one of the leaders of the clubhouse vibe committee, if you want to call it that, has vouched for Kyle Tucker and they’re friends. Thank you, Austin. Means a lot to me. Thank you. Basset delivered 100% through your contract. Eight those innings up with decent numbers. Absolutely. You They would do that contract over again in a heartbeat in hindsight. Like if you rewind, I mean, I love to see Marte and Tucker. That’s the only way I say goodbye to Bo. Yeah, like what’s up JG? I think if they did get Tucker, they’re probably making a trade for someone in the infield. Again, in case you missed it, we’re going here. Couple other things as well. Um, just some stuff from yesterday and I covered it in this morning’s video a little bit if you want to read this. Bobette and Kyle Tucker at top of both the market and the Jay’s list. Keegan Matson signed Tucker and Bogos the Red Sox or Yankees. That would be a nightmare. Yeah, though we got Tucker at that point. So, nightmare seeing Bow in one of those jerseys. I don’t think the Yankees are even remotely involved. Red Sox definitely could be. Not a bad shout junk. Isn’t Brennan Donovan a better target? Jay’s running. Yeah, I mean I could see them making a trade for Donovan if they get a guy like uh Kyle. Any more news about Tucker? Nothing as of now. I’m refreshing. Again, the latest um the latest is they met with him. They’re going all in. Is Davis just going to be a Ben? Absolutely. Yep. He’ll be bench player or part of a package that gets them somebody early Christmas for Jay’s fans. It’s going to be a crazy few days. And again, the timeline for the Otani stuff is eerily similar to the timeline of this Kyle Tucker stuff. So, you’re going to want to stay tuned for the video tomorrow. Some new reports are dropping. And we’ll keep you up to uh what date. Um, so Matthew, this one’s from Robert Murray, uh, which is a very notable reporter. Ben Nicholson Smith confirmed it. Keith Matson confirmed it. Mitch Bannon confirmed it. What if they pulled off the impossible sign and traded for Jose Romero saying goodbye to Bereio? Brios isn’t getting you one/8 or onetenth of what Jose Ramirez is worth, but I mean I like I like Jose Ramirez, but again he’s took a crazy low contract rate. I don’t disagree, Eric, which is the sad part. I think he’s in a I don’t know. It’s tough. Uh Craig, it is we had a snowstorm today, so everything was closed. I like 20 25 centimeters of snow. I think 25 centimeters. I was shoveling a lot this morning. Do you say Toronto Blue is going to 100% get Tucker? No. 30% chance right now. Give it. Why can’t Mad Max return on a one-year deal? What if he would pitch from the bullpen? Possible. I don’t think it’s likely because he’s going to be 42 or whatever, but never say never. Never say never. Let B go away. No, don’t want to do that. I don’t believe it till it’s confirmed. Exact. Okay. Just again, I’ve been saying this on live stream, but I’ll say it again. Matthew, 100% right. It’s not a guarantee signs, but it’s a good indication. If anything, it’s good indication that they are the only team confirmed to have met with Tucker. It shows her interest is real, and it also shows that they’re absolutely in on him. Like that’s that’s what it shows. It doesn’t guarantee they’re going to get Tucker. I guess it’s not going to happen right now. Can you list your backend pen guys? Uh you can see there on the right, bottom right. So you have Hoffman, Jimmy, Louis Varon, Braden Fischer. Those are like the four right now. Lucas costs Burgger and all of our premier prospects 100%. I mean they’d ask for Trey Savage as well if you’re getting a trade for Quan and J Ram. Dream scenarios Burrios, Johnny King, Gage Stanford, and Minnesota Triple A Fodder, Nathan Lucas, Panago for Dennis Santana, Joe. That is a crazy trade. Ols with a 1399s, you are going crazy tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It uh it means the world to me. Thank you. You think Hunen Ryu had something to do with Pon signing with the Jays? Also, isn’t it crazy that Ryu is the start of mending fences with Scott Boris who hated dealing with the Jays and now look crazy? First of all, 1399 very generous means the world to me. Your donation, your support, you mean the world to me for that. Thank you. Um, second of all, absolutely. I think that, you know, again, Ryu, if in case you missed it, you know, there there’s some relationship there. I’m sure we played some part of it. The crazier thing to me is that in 2019 when reassigned that was the beginning of fixing the Scott Boris relationship which love or hate Scott Boris he is the centerpiece of all these right all these reports the Jays now I mean they’ve gotten multiple big free agents Kevin Gosman George Springer Hunen Ryu at the time a lot of guys I’m missing a bunch too Kevin Gosman a lot of the guys um Dylan CE we can add that to the list now they in theory almost got Otani it was the beginning of a complete change for this franchise and now look 5 years 6 years later they were an inch away from a World Series. They signed the best pitcher on the market already. They’re in Kyle Tucker. They almost got Otani, especially compared to some of the other Toronto teams like the Leafs and stuff like that. Let’s be I’m going to be grateful for all we had. But you mean the world to me. Thank you very much. You’re an absolute beast. Very good points. Very good points as well. I mean, it’s crazy to see where the Jays have come, right? It’s I mean, I’ve been covering them since for years now. The interpreter for Ryu played a huge role for Pon and the young 18-year-old from South Korea. And according to Ben Nichols Smith, he like the Jays are all in on the Pacific Rim on getting a lot of these Korean these Japanese players over. So, I take Bowen Bellinger as plan B 100%. Again, I think if they don’t get if they get Tucker, they’re trading for an infielder. If they get Bo, they’ll probably try to get another bat in the outfield as well. I don’t think Ross Atkins is comfortable with Nathan Lucas as the everyday starting left fielder. I think they’re going to try to get away now. It could also be that this is getting leaked now. So that way, you know, that’s the Jays. Maybe the Jays leaked this to Robert Murray and then they’re telling Bob Bashette subtly, hey, let’s figure this out now or else we’re going to go with Tucker. There is that chance as well that they’re, you know, using it for leverage for Tucker if the Jays leaked it. We don’t know that part of it. Thank you again for the donation. I don’t know. Uh, do you see any Japanese players coming in? I don’t know. There’s a lot of the fits outside of Tatsu Mai who now is no longer a fit. Don’t really make a ton of sense for the Jays. Try trying to we get B is a possibility Byron Buckston. Is he willing to wave his no trade clause? I don’t think they’re going to go for Byron Buckton, but I mean they could make it. They will be active in the trade market. Do you see it as a win if they trade Brios? Even if they cover 60% of the cell, I’m fine trading Jose Burios. I’m fine. Toronto, it’s just the way baseball is. And that’s why that’s why there might be a lockout in 2027. Probably not, but there might be. They have many chance to get Belling didn’t get in the past three years. That’s my they’ve quieted down a little bit. I’m also like we’re less in on it now. I am because they the Jays have six starters, seven starters if you include Eric Lowour and Cody Pon. Feel bad for Lucas. He was a great underrated player. He was a fine example. Absolutely. He’s fantastic. But the problem is I think they’re going to try to go bigger. I want Rogers to bite the bolt this year and payo and Tucker next year. Lots of money coming off. That would be the argument for it. And I’m sure Ross Atkins went to Ed Rogers and said, “What do we have the green light for?” Clearly, they have the green light for at least Kyle Tucker on his own, which is the encouraging part. Lucas was awful in the World Series. I don’t even want to think back to that World Series. Still won’t watch a single highlight. Not going to either. Not going to. The minute they trade bio, someone goes. Yeah. So hopefully not. All the Jays Better starters are righties and Eric is a long man in the pen. Is that a concern? No. Uh you look at the projected starters. C righty goamin righty. Brios righty. Bieber righty. Savage righty. Ricky Tedman lefty. Eric Lowry lefty. So a couple guys could factor in for a spot start are lefties. But again they’re going to keep Brios as long as they can for injury insurance. But I’m sure Brios at some point would request a trade if he’s not starting at the end of the spring training. Yeah, I think Lucas could give you some decent value. Is there a good trade market for relievers if we can’t get any good closers in this year’s free agency? I’m sure there is some. Relievers are weird to trade for until the deadline. Like we think back, they’re so volatile. Like Ryan Helysey last year had a three RA in the first half. Got traded to the Mets, put up a 76 RA, I think a 7.6 or a seven RA. They’re such a crapshoot. Now they got Louis Varon and the Jays did and that’s worked out pretty well overall and that was a unique trade because he had so much control. he can be a starter. But I mean, the Yankees got David Bedner, all these guys, and then uh Doval just completely fell off a cliff. So, it’s interesting. And keep in mind with the starting pitcher, like Shane Bieber’s coming off of Tommy John, he should be a full go, but you never know. You Savage first full season. There’s a lot of question marks still with some of the durability. It’s possible, Shane. It’s possible. I would doubt it, though. At least at the start. Wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes it, though. Yeah, I mean the Jay’s firm system is great now randomly. How about little this season? He needs another pitch. Last season he was too predictable and hitters laid off his knuckle curve. I think he’s going to be a mid-le guy and I think he’s fine in that role. Sher was too old to be the closer. It’s a fun idea though. That’s a hilarious idea. Still can’t believe 41-y old Max Sherzer started game seven of the World Series or 40 years older, whatever he is, 42. Little is gone. I think he’ll be back. I mean, the back end of that bullpen doesn’t look great. Justin Bro, Mason Florida, he’s been good. Tommy Nance, he’s not going to return probably. Yel Rodriguez. Yankees did trade for Williams last free offseason, right? But after Durant Benner Miller got traded, there isn’t a good record for Lever now. Not great junk, but keep in mind they did trade for Deon Williams last year and he was horrible. That’s kind of what my point was. I don’t know if the Jays want to do that unless you score Diaz. There’s no other real closers available. Berlin is him. I think if they don’t get Diaz, they’re going to get Pete Fairbanks and then put him as closer probably, even though his metrics are slowly uh declining. What’s new? What happened? Kyle Tucker officially met with the Jays. Tucker has much appeared to Bow and it’s not close. B isn’t going to age well. I agree Tucker’s a better player. I think it’s a little bit close or it will be for the next couple years. Garcia and Bowen going to make their return. Yeah, I don’t know what Bowen’s role is. Garcia will though. Rather have a Suarez on two plus one over Fairbanks. 100%. No doubt. I agree with you. even though he’s older. Yeah, Robert Suarez. Yeah, I don’t disagree, Shane. Then you again, you kind of have the same problem as last year. Now, Fairbanks doesn’t give up a lot of home runs. He’s actually pretty good at limiting home runs. So, that would be a bit of a different one. Yeah, Suarez is older. He is older. Yeah, exactly. Paul Lou 6, Garcia, seventh, half, eighth, whoever. Ninth. I mean, Edwin Diaz would solve all those problems. I’m happy we got Dylan C. Yeah, exactly. Shane, he’s older though, right? So, exactly. Nelson, he said, “Hey, give me Tucker plus Bow and I’ll accept Fairbanks.” I mean, I’ll accept no reliever if that’s the case. Oh, they need one though. We are loading up another 16 pitchers. Triple A calls. He does act like a closer from the 90s. If F leaves should go after Morakami and put Clement on second possible. I don’t love Morakami. Personally, he hit really bad against Velocity. Like really bad. Like generationally bad. We’re also 32 likes away from 200. If you guys want to hit the like button, it would mean the world to me. You don’t have to, but it’s free. It would help me out. Try to get 200 likes before the stream ends. uh he has the best option if he is gone. I don’t like the options we have in free agency. Don’t disagree. Jimmy Garcia healthy will change the outlook in the bullpen. I do agree. People underestimate how good Jimmy Garcia is. Who is beyond? Did I miss your message? Beyond I am familiar with with him though. Wait, is that who you’re my most watched channel according to YouTube react? Shout out to you TBJ fan. That means a lot to me actually. Really does. Thank you. Oh, you’re talking about Mo Live. Yeah, that’s Yeah, no, I do know him. I didn’t realize Beyond that he was Cardinals Live. I’m aware of Cardinals Live. He’s pretty reputable. He’s gotten a lot of things right. I I saw him talking about the Jays. I didn’t realize that he was Cardinals Live. That’s actually very notable. MS just silly brother out. Keep killing it. Thank you. Have a great night and uh check back for the video tomorrow. I mean, thank you very much. Means the world to me. Yeah, he did beyond. That’s what I was confused about. He’s a very notable. He got I believe he got the Santandere and Vlatty extensions early or Santandere signing and Vlatty extensions early. That’s very not uh noticeable. Get rid of Brios for some more depth. Don’t hate it. Could they make Pon the closer? No. Ben Smith came out and said that Pon is going to be a uh starter. One sec, folks. Do you remember where you were uh live and when Vlatty signed it was 1:00 a.m. 1:40 a.m. my time? I do remember. I remember like it was yesterday. That was uh that was crazy. And the vibes were pretty low. I remember we were, you know, barely into the season. Vlatty came out and he signed and the rest is history. Rios does have value. Yeah, of course. Where does an elite closer rank in your list of needs this offseason or do we ride with Hoffman? I’d say below bow/ Tucker. Like I think another bat is above a reliever which sounds kind of crazy. Um, but right under that you’re not getting anything impactful for Rios. I don’t disagree. I think there’s some value there, though. I just don’t think it’s high value. I think there’s some value. You think Tucker wants to play for the Jays? I think it’s possible. Nelson. He’s a guy. He’s just a guy on Twitter who Cardinals writer, but like not a super reputable writer, who’s gotten things right about the Jays in the past and has Jay’s sources supposedly, and he’s saying that the Jays are trying to walk out with one of uh Tucker or Bo, if not both. I’ll have a video covering that tomorrow probably. And he’s saying that basically trading for an outfielder. There’s a lot of stuff. I’ll have a whole video covering it tomorrow. Actually going to get that prepared here. Give me a moment, folks. Any other questions for me? You’re about to hit an hour. That was kind of the goal here. Any other questions for me? Uh Excuse me. Okay. No, Ponar 50 is Yeah, I would assume. I mean, we don’t know for sure at this juncture. Also, we are 11 likes away from 200. Let’s get it. Wonder Tucker home with swag. Man, they gave Otani’s dog a Blue Jays gear. My dog has a Blue Jays handkerchief. So Shane with the five gifted. If you got a membership from Shane, members get a ton of perks, new ones coming, especially for next season. You get access to emotes, your little badge next to your name. There’s going to be call-ins a lot of these upcoming streams. You guys are going to have priority to call in. So Shane, thank you everyone. If you got a membership from Shane, make sure to thank him for that. Going to be going live more. I say that every live stream. I promise you because it’s that time of year. It is uh it is that time of year. Awesome. Thank you very much, Mark. Everyone who is in this stream when I do upload tomorrow morning, make sure to check it out. Someone said, “Do you think you could sign Tucker tomorrow?” I don’t think tomorrow. I think we’re going to hear more things over the next couple of days into Monday. I think Tucker signs before Bo. I don’t think Bo signs after winter meetings in January. It’s my uh my thought. But we’ll get more money if he waits for Tucker to sign probably depending on what Tucker gets. Now, I believe Little is still technically under contract. We’re three legs away from 200. What a crazy stream. You guys are unbelievable. Do you guys want to What day is it tomorrow? Thursday. Do you guys want to live stream tomorrow? I think I’ll go live tomorrow if some new stuff comes out in the night. I might go live either way. Trying to fix my sleep schedule. What’s up, Eric? Bo gets married in January, so maybe he doesn’t then. Maybe it’s before. I trade Brios and prospects for Catel. I would too. What a crazy stream. Go live tomorrow. Yeah, I think I will. I think I will, though. I don’t think any signings happen tomorrow, but they could. Yes, sir. Shane, thank you for being here, moderating, and gifting. Appreciate it. Very positive stream. You guys support was crazy today. A video on options for a closer free or buy trade be nice. I can write that down for you, Marshall. I can get that I can get that going once things settle down. I just wrote that down, Mark. I’ll uh I’ll have that on my list, my list of videos as news drops. Of course, that takes priority, but that’ll that’ll get done. I promise you that. Trust live stream tomorrow be Tucker being a J. We also 200 likes. Thank you guys. Means the world. That’s a lot of likes. No way he will sign during or after winter meetings. I think he will sign during or after. Yeah, we will be or I will be live for winter meetings on Monday night. Kind of recapping the first day of winter meetings, which will be a week from whenever. Not even a week, like a few days. Time is flying. Go Jays. Great time to be alive. Great time to be a Jays fan. Christmas coming soon. Can we expect to be more active on socials like Twitter? It’s a good question. The answer is yes. The answer is yes. A lot of stuff in the woodworks for that for next season. Um, it will be live as well or throughout this offseason as well, but yeah, I’m going to be a lot more active on Twitter, everything. There’ll be a lot of social media activity from me. It’s all a part of the master plan here before next season. But it’s a good question. You’re always shing your viewers. It’s only right to get love back. Thank you, Patrick. I try to read every single comment. We get Catel Jimenez would be the bench or he should be he’d still play short unless you have Bob. They’re not going to get Cel Marte if they bring Po back, right? At least I wouldn’t assume L’s Christmas. If they if for Christmas they get Kyle Tucker, I will be over the moon. Over the moon. You’re great, Nick. You’re great. Thank you, Lisa. Your guys support tonight’s been crazy. Means a lot. Gonna go live more. A lot of positive people in the chat, which I love to see. Of course, you know, haters and negativity is going to come with it. See it sometimes in my comments on the videos. It’s the way it is. It’s part of the business. But it’s nice to see you guys showing love in the live streams. You’re all real ones. Everyone who watches my video one way whether it’s positive or negative I appreciate. So 210 35 uh is not much a worse defender. Tucker is better overall hitter and has plus defense. Agreed. I mean I’m I’m Tucker over B all day every day. Pon and a closer. I wouldn’t mind them getting a closer, like another actual closer. One of the things Ross Atkins said was that they want to go all in for a uh or that, you know, Jeff Hoffen isn’t all in on the idea of being a closer, so it’s possible. Always appreciate your videos giving me updates throughout the offseason. Thank you, Nick. No problem claiming. Again, I promise you guys to be bearing something crazy happening. the first one on news and the best one for specifically this stuff in the offseason. And I was playing basketball when Dylan C signed the worst possible timing. I’m available basically at all times to make a video and I was it was halftime of my men’s league game. I don’t know if any of you guys noticed I was wearing the Wreck League jersey during that one. Crazy. Got the video done and went back out. We lost. Yeah, Luke, he is according to Ben Nichols Smith. At least they said he is going to be starting. Ben Smith tweeted that. I believe today actually may have a believe it was today. BNS tweeted that. So, it’s a time of the night now where people are falling going to sleep, which is why I have a video for you all tomorrow. You have a quick look here. Blue Jays will have a better chance to sign Tucker instead of the Dodgers. I don’t know if that’s fully true, but definitely a chance. Yeah, Steve, it’s live. Hello, Steve. People have been saying that YouTube doesn’t show sometimes whether it’s live or not. Yeah, this is live. It’s hilarious. Imagine training sounds and air burritos. Yeah. Good night. No, take it easy. Alonzo back to Matt’s 54 million. Is that real? Looking I don’t see it. Unless you’re saying that’s speculation. People break people in the chat break news all the time to me. So yeah, not real. He hasn’t signed yet. You never know. I’ve had people people broke the uh the Vlatty extension to me. Like they got me before. Hey, do we see any news tonight dropping? Jeff, I think you’re good for the night if you want to sleep or whatever it is. I think there is some more news that has come out that I’ll cover in my video tomorrow morning, but it’s most likely going to be on um or like Monday or something. Yeah, 54 is low. Bow and Bellinger might be better priced than Tucker. Yeah, there’s so many options. If they get Bo, they’re going to probably trade for an outfield bat. If they get Tucker, they’re probably just going to ride it out in the infield. There’s so many different ways they can go about it. The best part is I’m going to keep you up to date every step of the way. Opt out after one year. There’s probably going to be opt outs in a lot of these guys contracts. It helps them maximize their uh their money. At the end of the day, Bett’s a beast. K. Tucker’s a beast. They’re all amazing players. So, and you guys are beasts for watching the videos. All right, folks. It’s it’s late where I am trying to fix my sleep schedule. So, anything anything left for uh for me? Any final questions before we wrap up here? And um see you guys in tomorrow’s video. I still do record that video. So uh yeah, Jonathan, I’ll be live Monday for winter meetings in the night time. Priority is obviously getting all the videos out for you guys first though, so you can uh keep watching them. Yeah, I don’t think Amaya is going to uh sign with the Jays. I mean, there’s no world. See you, Shane. Andrew, very quickly, I got you before I wrap up. Tucker was seen visiting the Jay’s complex basically. And there’s a lot of reports. I have a whole video covering tomorrow morning if you want to uh check that out. Do we trade Brios? I think eventually the Jays won the World Series. It’s a good question actually, Oscar. What’s more likely, six rotation or trading burios? I think trading burritos, but like I think they’re going to wait till spring training. Yeah, Cedric Mullins did sign with the uh with the Rays. Folks, thank you very much. Insane, insane stream, each and every one of you. It truly means the world to me. I’ll be live again in the next few days. It could be tomorrow, could be Monday. There will be a video for you guys early tomorrow, probably 8:00 a.m. Eastern, maybe a little bit later than that, depending on how things get done. So, stay tuned for that. If you are in this stream now, the 300 plus of you, comment on the video tomorrow morning that you came from the live stream. I’ll hurt every single one of them and I’ll see the rest of you on the uh on the video tomorrow in the streams over the next few days. There going to be a lot of streams.

  1. I can’t see them getting Tucker to be honest with you which sucks because even if they do and then they don’t sign Bo then once again they have too many outfielders and now they don’t have a second base or shortstop whichever one he’s gonna play which to me is a big deal. I think it’s more feasible that they get Cody Bellinger and Bo for a much better price and that still works really well another big bat, a great defender in the outfield and they also keep Bo to play second or short.

  2. Yes, they did get some good pitching one of the top pitchers, but they have never been able to land the guy the big guy, the number one free agent so my confidence in Atkinson is still a five at best. Let’s not forget they still have not addressed any of the issues from last year. They had great pitching. That’s why they got to the World Series. They’re missing that big bat and that number one closer and they still haven’t got either one of those yes they replaced the pitching but as far as I concerned, I don’t think the replacement pitching is as good as what they lost so for me they’re exactly where they were last year even though they made too early moves. They need the address the biggest issues that’s a power bat and a closer. And don’t forget Tucker also lives right by the Yankees facility as well so you can bet he’ll be visiting all the other teams that are interested.

  3. Ross is job is still on the line one playoff appearance is not enough to save his job so he is being more serious with free agents we don't need Bo back he sucks

  4. Bo is more important to resign with out a shadow of a doubt … we don’t really need Tucker … he’s a nice piece too add but a luxury

  5. Signing Kyle Tucker ( and Bo ) is a play for 2027 and beyond when Springer is gone.
    There just happens to be overlap in 2026 where both Tucker and Springer will potentially be in the Jays uniform at the same time. That’s the opportunity to win.

    Cease is the replacement for Gausman. Again, 2026 is the overlap season.

  6. Too many people are emotionally attached to Bo but it makes more sense to not sign him because they need 2nd base for Clements. If you sign Bo, you may as well trade Ernie. Tucker is the better play here and it allows you to put Lukes, Straw, Santander, Schneider out as trade capital for bullpen upgrades. Trade Berrios as well.

  7. I'm cool with them signing Tucker as long as they also bring back Bo. If it's an either or bring back Bo. I don't really trust Tucker in the playoffs over Bo. His career ops in nearly 300 played appearances is under .700.

  8. If I had to choose I would sign Bellinger and Bo over Tucker. Bellinger can play Center field and take over for Varsho if he does not re-sign in 2027. Yankees won’t want to pay for Tucker so it would force them to make a tough decision.
