1. That’s what I’m talking about! Huge!

2. Oh damn he’s got a FUNKY delivery

3. Monster trade in the NHL and a Jays signing? What a time to be alive.

4. Lfg

5. Someone tell me what to think about this

6. Holy shit he was probably my top target for RP

7. 

8. hot diggity dog

9. Bichette next please, we can’t wait much longer

10. #OH WERE GETTING FUNKY IN HERE

11. Signing someone with the last name Rogers? Fuck yeah.

12. Rogers signed by Rogers

13. 148 Career ERA+. 149 ERA+ past 5 seasons. 1.98 ERA last season.

14. Dude is nasty and he posts, should be very good value. He does not rely on velo at all, so should age well! A very Atkins signing

15. This may be the bullpen piece.

    Tucker and Bo now please.

    See you in spring training! You too Max!

16. Literally the perfect add. He keeps the ball in the ballpark, can throw as many innings as you need, will be even better with elite defense behind him, and throws from a crazy release point which the Jays love. He was the reliever I wanted most this offseason. Good stuff!

17. Now THAT is a great signing

18. LETS GO

19. Do we now have the highest and lowest release points in baseball on this team?!

20. I’ll crump with you Tyler

    Also, it’s going to be hilarious going from Trey’s super high arm slot to Tyler’s super low. That’s a filthy difference in release point.

21. Hell yeah! Dude walks nobody and generates loads of weak contact.

22. My first thought, “fucking Ted Rogers signing his son, gawd damn nepotism”

23. Imagine YeSavage starting and Rogers following right after. Insanely different arm angles. Haha

24. Blue Jays sign a top-3 Free Agent in each category check:

    Starter ✅

    Reliever ✅

    Infielder ❓

    Outfielder ❓

25. I used this guy in my online league on The Show and no one could hit him and his wacky delivery

26. Starting Yesavage into a Rogers relief appearance will make batters ragequit

27. Between Rogers and Chase Lee, I wonder how Pete Walker feels.

    Edit: The trade for Lee fills the 40-man. Who goes off to get Rogers on? I’m assuming Tommy Nance because of his age (34), but maybe Atkins has a 3 for 1 trade brewing.

28. Bro imagine facing Trey’s trebuchet arm angle and then your next AB you face this guy

    GET THEM ALL ROSS

29. The money Rogers is going to make marketing Rogers, get ready for some new commercials!

30. Submarine delivery reliever!! Can you imagine this guy following Yesavage? Batters won’t know wtf is going on

31. I signed Rogers in my MLB The Show franchise, funny enough and he was solid for my Jays team in Year 2 of our title defense.

32. Please use remaining money for Tucker and Bo please

33. Giants fan here! Treat our submarine captain well, he will be missed dearly in SF 😔

34. 100% will be corporates favourite player.

    Having actual Rogers Blue Jays jerseys now….

35. Love a good submarine pitcher. Always throws off the other teams timing.

36. Son of Eichhorn.

37. We’re cornering the market on funky arm angles. Now we need a guy who throws behind his back or between his legs.

38. From highest release point in yesavage to the lowest release point … gonna be interesting watch 🤣

39. But do we get Taylor too?

40. Please sign Bo it is the holiday season

41. Yesavage followed by Rogers out of the pen would be a crazy combo

42. Going from Yesavage to Rogers will melt batters brains

43. Love me a submariner, been missing one since Cimber.
