  1. If I had a USA flag behind me I'd toss a towel over it for a Canadian broadcast lol. BUT I tuned in for the BNS /Blue Jays segment and it was great. JD speaks for the people

  3. Brother if they don’t sign a Bo or a Tucker this off season is not a success lol. “We signed this guy and that guy and
” all smoke and mirrors without one of those two names. You got better but you’re not in the WS and so what’s the point, and even if you somehow are you’re not knocking off whoever you meet there. Gonna be a major letdown to every Blue jay fan is they don’t get one of those two inked.

  4. Classic Sportsnet. Nothing ever changes except the season. It always starts with how active the Jays are going to be. Then comes how they’re smarter than everyone else for signing deadbeats and maybes. Finally, it wraps up with justifying why they already have enough and don’t need to add anything else.

  7. JD again going a way too hard on the "BNS on fire with the scoops".. To obvious your trying to help the guys cred. He doesnt need it! He is good on his own!

  8. I think the Jays need to sign ideally Bichette or if not Bichette, Tucker, and then I think that our position player needs would be met and the only other need we have would be bullpen but we have enough young relievers that can improve, so I think that need can be handled internally at least for now or by a trade either now or during the season. I am not sure we need to trade anyone rn though even if we get Bichette or Tucker because of injuries that will almost certainly happen at some point.

  10. I’m sorry, but I think Bieber took the option because he still hurt. If he doesn’t take the option and he goes to free agency then they want medicals and he’s probably gonna fail. So let’s not just say quite yet that Bieber did us a favour.

  11. I think that all the question marks you mentioned have greater success in different spots vs lefty/righties. This provides rest throughout the season, and sets them up to succeed. Depth is great.
