1. Booooo

2. 42 million per year is crazy, more than vlad jr

3. It seems he in fact, did not want to be here then.

4. 3 years, huh

5. At that money, good riddance

6. Bad week for jays fans

7. https://preview.redd.it/wxergufttqdg1.jpeg?width=304&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb785d683c321aca9fba3c12116c8f9c50a44c92

   okay this time fr

8. League is fucked.

   $42 M AAV for Bo?

   He is a 1 tool player (a good one but still).

9. I know that it is a short term deal but giving $42M per year to Bo is fucking wild

10. 42M per year is crazy.

11. Goofy money being tossed around

12. Steal Bellinger from the Yankees and I am a happy man still. But there is no smoke or rumours there so I doubt it.

13. 42M for Bo is just stupid. That’s just a bad contract

14. Well, when the market went crazy town banana-pants, the Jays held firm. I hate that we lose out on Tucker and Bo, but this isn’t a bad thing in the long run.

15. Bellinger as a consolation would be totally cool and an A+ offseason still.

16. Well at least he didn’t go to the Red Sox lol

17. Holy shit, I was gonna be good with Bellinger… but I’m afraid to know what he’s asking for.

18. Not mad at Ross for not giving Bo $42 million a year

19. No way the jays would come close to that for Bo. I wonder if they pivot to Bellinger or just roll with what they’ve got.

20. With this deal and Tucker’s deal, a lockout when the CBA expires is all but guaranteed

21. he preferred the money then coming back 😥

22. This is why you should win the World Series when you are two outs away with Miguel Rojas at the plate.

23. Too much money. See ya Bo.

24. Mets put Bo signature where Tucker didn’t wanna sign 😂.

25. lol overpay much. Joke show league. Fuck New York

26. Honestly not mad. That’s an insane amount to give to Bo Bichette.

27. Why is Toronto sports gotta be like this, he wouldve been a hero here now hes just another fish in the pond in new york

28. I already told myself a while ago that I didn’t think he was coming back so this doesn’t sting much. Don’t think he wanted to play in Toronto anymore

29. Everyday now Vladdys contract looks like a steal

30. I wish Bo well. He had a lot of great moments for us.

    And Hello Ernie!!

31. Watch the Mets still not make postseason

32. I am sad that Bo & Vladdy won’t win a World Series together. Bo was one of my favourite players. However, the Jays could replace his production for less than $42m per year.

33. He’s playing 3rd with THAT arm? ok

34. Remember when the conversation was about being able to sign both? $102 million per year is a pretty good reason for that not to happen.

35. You know the market is crazy when we miss out on both Bichette and Tucker and the anger isn’t at the front office

    But rightly so. What are those numbers gosh…

36. Bichette is getting Judge level money and Tucker has exceeded Soto’s AAV (not far off Ohtani’s). That is insane.

37. Semien was a great hitter when he had projection with Vladdy too. Let’s see how it all plays out for Bo now.

38. An absolute panic move by the Mets.

    They missed out on Tucker and pulled the trigger on an **massive** overpay.

39. 42 million for Bo Bichette and 60 million for Kyle Tucker. Those two contracts are absolutely insane. Massive overpays.

40. No more posts of Bichette’s opposite field extra base hits. Great run.

41. These Bo’s ain’t loyal

42. Vlad’s 35.7m a year contract looks like a bargain now. A year ago everyone was criticizing the 14yr 500m deal.

43. https://preview.redd.it/lwvm3z0syqdg1.jpeg?width=950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cad82b290635667f1af96df61743619f753c355d

44. And he’s going to play 3rd base! I’m not even sure if he can throw that far.

45. Idk maybe I’m in the minority but I’m not overly upset Jays didn’t sign Bo. He’s obviously a great hitter, when he’s available, but his legs are shot and he’s a bottom of the league fielding SS.
