Who needs Bo when you got ErnDawg (currently crying😭)

And who cares about Tucker when Santander is gonna bounce back and hit 40 HR??
I would not be apposed to the Jays trying to acquire **Brendan Donovan** from the Cardinals…
Seems like he would fit right in with the team in all departments.
He played nearly all games last season..
I’ll miss Bo but not at that contract. Mets were a dumpster fire last year guess he wanted the big payday. Ern dog is the man and loves the Jays.
On the one hand, I want to make the “friendship ended” meme with Bo, Vladdy, and Big Ern, but on the other, I really do love Bo and Vladdy’s friendship and it makes me sad.
Jays need a 10th man now
His OPS+ under 100 last 2 years. Ernie more of a defense first guy.
Yep give Ernie a shot as an everyday.
Protect our Ernie at all cost!
He’s a fine guy to have starting everyday and hit 8th but he’s far more valuable if he can be used as a super utility guy
Love when my career 82 wRC+ against RHP guy is forced to become an everyday starter
(And if you’re going to say that’s his career wRC+ not his 2025 number uh don’t look at what it was last year)
Hope not for long
*barks*
Ernie is precious to me
Right?! Love Ernie and would love to see what he can do this season! We are LETHAL in the pitching department and the offseason overall was VERY successful. Go Jays!
I know it sucks to miss out on two premium players but if nothing else happens, I’m with Ross. This team will be just fine, and the traditional rivals in Boston and the Yankees didn’t improve all that much.
Clement is twice the player Bichette is. Bo will be injured half the season anyway.
What’s our depth look like now?
C: Kirk, Heiny
1B: Vladdy
2B: Gimenez, Schneider, Clement
SS: Clement/Gimenez
3B: Okamoto, Barger, Clement
LF: Schnider, Straw, Jo Lo
CF: Varsho
RF: Tony Taters, Lukes
Assuming a couple things (Taters/Berrios health and ability mostly) and if we get Bassit back for Regular Season SP and Post Season RP, I don’t think we’re a worse team than last season. Just really Right Hand Heavy.
I do like Bo though, I was never thinking 42Million aav
Seriously. It sucks to miss out on Tucker and Bo, but the part of me that cares so much about the other players on this team and how hard they’ve worked sees the upside of that not being overshadowed by a big acquisition/retention. I guess just the whole appreciating what you have perspective… and we have so much!
This is the kind of energy I need right now.
Love this!! Ern is the man
That’s a pretty bleak bright side. If Santander doesn’t bounce back in a big way then we basically need Varsho, Clement, Barger, Lukes, Gimenez to at least replicate last year if not do better.
I very much prefer Ernie as a guy that provides elite defence all over the diamond and is the last guy you pick every day because he can play anywhere, but I’m confident this team is going to be very good.
If everything happened in reverse and we missed out on Tucker and Bo, but then went and signed cease, Ponce, Rogers and okomoto, I’d feel better. I just feel like we’re one away from me saying, “this team is going to win the American League” rather than, “If things go well, we’ll be right back where we were”.
in ernie clement we trust 🙏🏼
you mean all time single postseason hit leader Ernie Clement
When does Ernie become a free agent?
i love ernie 🤍 excited to see him soon
i still have love for bo and i will miss him. but 42 million dollars a year is madness. i can’t justify that. the mets are desperate and will throw money at anyone.. i don’t understand why anyone would want to join that team after their dumpster fire of a season last year (beyond getting a fat paycheque)
but if bo wants that money, then he can have it. i’d rather focus on players who actually want to be here
I’m getting these vibes from Ernie heading into this season.
This is Ernie’s time to shine. I just hope that the great hitting we saw from him wasn’t one of those flukes of postseason baseball. Ernie’s very easy to root for so I’m hoping for the best.
This is our Ernie, just adopted last weekend. He got his name because my wife enlisted Clement (via Cameo) in her campaign to get a second dog, and he said we should name it after him. Hard to argue with Ern Dog.
Who’s a trade candidate? Kwan? Marte is that ship sailed?
I guess Bo cares more about money than winning a championship.
I do love me some Ernie
Kazuma Okamoto at 3rd, Gimenez at short, Ernie at second, Vladi at first. That’s a solid infield.. and hopefully Santander comes back 100% w/ a bounce-back year. We also added Dylan Cease to the rotation which is huge.
LA still wins their 3rd in a row.
All is right now. Ernie deserves it. Better defender and all time leader in hits in the world series.
Kirky and EC ❤️❤️❤️
This is what I’m talking about
So if no other moves are made are you happy with the team going into next year?
I dont think they could possible do much more unless there is a trade to solidify the closer role.
But I havent looked at remaining free agents either.
Every cloud, I guess. Bye bye Bo! 😥💔🇨🇦🩵
I’m totally ok with Clement, Barger and Lucas getting playing time.
I’d take Ernie over Bo any day. I have a feeling that losing bo might be key to preserving the great culture the jays have going. I’ve just always felt bo wasn’t really part of the culture.
