Rob the Yankees? They’re too stupid to do that. I can’t stand Shapiro or Atkins! Bunch of bums just lost BOTH Tucker and Bo!!! PATHETIC
iTs nEVeR BeEN mOrE cLEr . BELLi wAS always tHE TArGeT 😂
Whatever these goofballs say , the opposite will happen .
Guys , everyday you jump from big name to big name position players asking for insane big bucks , stop it , pitching wins , look at a good LH reliever like Andrew Chafin or trade for a lights out reliever like Mason Miller. That's how you win games.
Dude, really are you still doing this continuing to give false hope has gone on long enough. Move on the Jays aren’t gonna get Bellinger. It’s not gonna happen. I don’t care and I’m tired of hearing all this breaking bullshit. once again, just using the Blue Jays to get other people to bid higher I overpay just like they’ve done with Tucker and Bo
I don’t know why the jays don’t try to sign Varsho now to a contract? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Santander will have a bounce back season I say 30-35 home runs and 90-100 rbis.
Getting bellinger also means our biggest competition loses a great player. Worth it when you factor that in
Jays need to try to get Jhoan Duran or Mason Miller as closer
What's the corresponding move? Unless there's an upgrade somewhere else that can be made via trading one or more of the other outfielders (most likely back end reliever), then Bellinger doesn't make sense. Besides, the Yankees had him and they crashed out in the playoffs.
what many people describe as most exciting off season looked promising at start but may end as a disappointing finish.
tade ty France for cody bellinger
Just shut it. Don’t make fake news and video for a while 😂
Yeah, getting very crazy
Heard Jays are trying to sign Micheal Jordan 😂
Jays need to re-sign Varsho as soon as possible. Can’t let him reach a weak FA class next year.
Varsho and Giminez play most important defensive roles up the middle for the Jays.
Players don’t want to be in Canada long term. Not getting bellinger.
FO can show they are going for it by forgetting Bellinger and go get Skubal and sign long term…would have potentially best rotation in MLB and not just year…moving forward
ABOUT BELLINGER – how can you say he is not worth his asking price, when you are willing to give Tucker 400 mil?
WTF kind of logic or realm of common sense is in your head?
First – Bellinger has great defensive (especially compared to Tucker) and we seen Bellinger's defensive abilities last season. Fans/media cry when ones D "sux" (Bo, Okamoto, Santander), praise the likes of Gimenez for defense willing to eat his single-A stick just to have his D, claim the Jays are defensive first team – here comes Cody fullfing that "desire", that "identity" and guys like Nick look right past it, seeing zero value! All while smacking us with the (need to replace Varsho and Springer) narrative during the want for Tucker, trying to sell us on (thinking about tomorrow) – and here Bellinger fits that desire once again, still Nick/fans/media hold little value in Bellinger. Dummee's!
Second – Bellinger's WAR last season 5.1 compared to Tucker's 4.6 (the stat you all sux the d!ck raw off of!), is better than ya boi Tucker. If Kyle is worth 400 million with worse defense, worse WAR, worse power numbers, worse batting average (for starters) … then Cody is worth 200 million or more!
You dummee's always miss the obvious, instead accepting the trained monkee thinking patterns of being told what is "better" than w/o any research/use of intuition/common sense and logic, agree on the common narrative of what it says "better" is – can't explain why? You just do, yo! "keeping him away from the Yankee's" as reasoning is soy-boy, you weak umbrella children! I want to play the best competition, beat the beat – not run away from them, and try to win the cow@rds way. So typical of any generation after Gen-X – you soft as twinkie fillings, look to do less and get more, hard done by, dummee, victim, beta-baby's.
Final straw i give the jays an a season but with all the bs with tuckers-and loss of bo from reliable sources who where not reliable they will not be getting a a plus team that is all i will say now also this is why there will be best case senecio minamal games in 2027 and worst a lockout and i will not be watching streams of any kind ever again just seeing the news- IM NOT SAYING BLUE JAYS HAD A BAD OFFSEASON
Stop with the BS. lol
You have to wonder why Bellinger hasn’t signed yet. Not a Bellinger fan anyway! Spend that money on pitching or another good hitter
Blue jays lineup is looking pretty good anyway. Obviously Jays can’t buy a World Series like the Dodgers can!!
Think Bellinger stays with the Yankees. IMO getting another decent arm for the pen should be the main priority now.
This would be a good strategic move. 7 years for $210 m. If we lose out, it's OK. We're used to losing out on most high-profile players anyway. One caveat. He has to want to play here. If he's not happy in a Blue Jays uniform, he could become a big liability and have another streak of bad seasons as he did in 2021 and 2022. I hope that we haven't forgotten about trying to get a lights-out closer (via trade).
Start the season as is. Trading in-season is the way to go. You can see where you're lacking and address it then.
To that BIG DUMMEE (stillwest) – you can look for the downside of every players offense and defense.
Example: Tucker batting .196 with RISP position last year, just as bad with two strikes on him – couldn't clip 80 ribbies or 23 jacs as a power bat, throw in the bad defense … how the f@ck is that worth his money?
Now go through all 30+ mil players, and see where they look "not worth it" – some have bad numbers at home, hit on the road, have bad numbers at night time vs. daytime … the list goes on (ask a sports gambler they'll give you deep insight on those types of splits). Show us that these types of "negative" anomalies doesn't exist with 30+ million dollar players, then your point will hold validity – ya dummee monkee. Also since 2021, Cody spent roughly 24 months stretched over three part seasons with a nagging injury that seems to be fix.
Ahhh ffff here we go again hype hype hype…enuff jays aren't getting any top free agents, but to take him away from NY would be grand theft
Nobody wants to live or play in Canada..The only FA you signed was a guy nobody else wanted in Santander and his 1st yr was a disaster..You offered plenty of $$$ and years to many guys over the last 3 years and everybody has said no thanks..You got guys betting on themselves and taking short term deals rather than take a long term deal with Toronto..You havent realized your players are all thru trade homegrown or the last FA left where they have no other choice? Who the hell is moving to another country when they have other options right here in LA or NY?
Nothing will happen, Blue Jays once again are getting used to jack up the price for the FA.
Bounce back from Santander but regression from Springer
Enough Jays need sign Kopech CLOSER
Why didn’t we just overpay and sign Bo for a short term deal like the Mets?
💙💙💙💙💙
Cody Bellinger would be huge for the Jays who are doing a great job pivoting to another player in free agency. I think the Jays finally hold off the Mets and Yankees pursuing Bellinger.
No. All he is is a has been. Bellinger. Is soo. Overated
Makes no sense. Moving ON are THE YANKESS
THESES GUYS IN THE MAJORS ARENT THAT GREAT
Are this the same Jay's that said there getting bichette, then tucker, I'll believe it when I see it I'm a yankee fan and sick of bellengers antics I hope he goes somewhere else.
We basically traded Bo for Okomoto. We bolstered our pitching staff. Santander is going to be healthy. I’m ok with where we are at.
Barger is a stud….. they need to replace Varsho. Barger may be very shortly MVP candidate. Barger more valuable right now than Bellinger or Tucker.
The $ 366 plus million they would have spent on BO and Tucker would be better used next year to sign Tarik Skubal .
If I am not mistaken Bellinger didn't want to come to TO before and signed in NY.
No thanks to Cody Bellinger. Bat speed and hard hit rate are red flags. His hitting is league average other than at Yankee Stadium. Run with what we have – Bellinger isn't worth it and won't age well. Would prefer to see Varsho getting an extension – similar WAR per 162 games but way cheaper.
They don't need him.Just takes playing times from the other players.They really blew it with Bo.
Jojo Parker in the next couple of years will be the future shortstop for the blue jays
Getting any more players is going to be a joke.these player all use the Jay s for building the money they are asking for.
here we go again
Good Lad. Do the Dodgers need another outfielder? I'm not going to get too excited. Would be nice, I really like Cody, he's a true professional. Thanks for sharing.
Is it just me ? Why are we talking about Bellinger? We are in dire need of a shutdown LH relief pitcher. We cant be serious about going into the season with Little and Fluharty
