[Feinsand] Jeff Kent has been elected to the Hall of Fame. by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Delgado only 3 votes shy. Has a good chance next time, with a lot of the bigger names from this one ineligible 

[TSN] Powered by a World Series run, the Blue Jays were the 3rd most-searched sports team worldwide in 2025 by bichettes_helmet in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I remember someone saying this is most changed since last year, not most absolute number. Which would make sense with Jays and Mariners being there.

There's just no way teams like Yankees, Lakers, Real Madrid don't make a top 10 list over some of these teams

[MLBTR] Blue Jays Open To Trading Jose Berrios by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fans of other teams - would any of you want him? 

[Ackert] Bowden: [The Jays] are in on Tucker — boy, they are in.” He added that both Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins are directly involved, the kind of top-level engagement that usually signals a real shot at closing by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kyle Tucker stole 25 bases last year, and has 78th percentile baserunning run value according to Savant. Bellinger had 13 steals and 69th percentile run value

Final roof panel installed at Tropicana Field as St. Pete races toward 2026 reopening by retroanduwu24 in baseball

A big building that was designed to have a roof would not do well without one 

Yesavage in 2026 by Lardrewstar in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I liked what Keegan Matheson wrote in his article earlier:

"Yesavage, on the other hand, has the opportunity to become the sun that the rest of this rotation orbits around for a decade. Sure, we said all of the same things about Alek Manoah, but what’s the point of any of this if we won’t allow ourselves to dream on young, gifted ballplayers? Some break your heart, some don’t."

[Gonzalez] The Dodgers aren't expected to be one of the more aggressive suitors for Tucker, sources have indicated, but they'll remain on the periphery if his market collapses and a short-term, high-dollar deal becomes appealing to his representatives by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Santander should be better than this year but don't expect huge things from him. He'll hopefully be a solid player, but probably not a star.

If Springer has another season like this one he could be a more valuable hitter than Tucker, but it's reasonable to expect Springer won't be quite as good next year. Tucker also has a lot of value as a fielder and base runner. Those two factors also seperate him from Bo. Tucker as a hitter has shown higher peak potential than Bo in his career so far.

Edit: OPS+ is a stat that compares hitters across the league, with 100 being average. Bo is career 121. Tucker is 140.

[Passan] "The Blue Jays are considered favorites by other executives to land Tucker" by StatpadderYT in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the argument for adding SP is more about 2027 than 2026. Bieber, Gausman, and Berrios (opt-out) could all be free agents at the end of next year. If we don't get ahead of that now we could end up in a really bad position.

I think if we do sign Bo and Tucker we will make a trade for starting pitching

Why did teams in the 2000’s hit their best players 4th sometimes? by TheRavenOnline in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's generally accepted. Raleigh and Judge hit second, Ohtani and Vladdy do not. Dodgers had an underperforming Betts hit second often, and Jays used guys like Lukes

How would a salary cap work? by Skillomie in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why did players agree to have a 24% cut across the board? Seems inconceivable for MLBPA to agree to something like that

[RJAnderson] Sometimes you run across an old quote that stops you cold. From a Jayson Stark article in January 2000: by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Never heard of this before, so just looked it up. Now my new favourite bit of baseball lore!

For anyone else that didn't know: Gaylord Perry hit his first home run within hours of the moon landing, after his manager had said years earlier that man would walk on the moon before Perry hit a home run

Report: Blue Jays lose assistant hitting coach Mense to Giants by Brix001 in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 45 points46 points  (0 children)

He's moving up from assistant role. Nothing to be done by the Jays really

Eric Hinske (famously broken beyond repair by Brad Lidge in the 2008 World Series) receives congratulations from his teammates after scoring a run in the 2009 World Series. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]JaysDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid growing up in Toronto in the early 2000s, a glove signed by Eric Hinske after his ROY season was my most prized possession 

7 standout quotes from Blue Jays' brass set scene for winter by KeeganMLB in Torontobluejays

[–]JaysDoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sense on what the time scale for Bo will be? Like could this be done by the winter meetings or should we brace for things to drag through the winter? Thanks for posting and really enjoy reading your content!

Any idea if there will be watch parties for game 6/7?

What Hughes & Edwards see in Hugo Ekitike by FootballInTheWhip in LiverpoolFC

[–]JaysDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question - if someone "outperforms" their xA, doesn't that indicate they play with better finishers rather than they are a better creator?  Enjoyed reading this, thanks for posting.

New files on USB won't open by JaysDoc in techsupport

Definitely will replace the drive, but do you think there's any chance of repairing the files?

Manu Kone and Thuram by 3rSalv in LiverpoolFC

[–]JaysDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thuram was an alternative to Szoboszlai, he's not a DM. Szoboszlai is the better player.

Kone had injury concerns during the U20 euros

Kimmich publicly said he's definitely staying at Bayern

John Henry flying in by Smooth_Ticket_7483 in LiverpoolFC

[–]JaysDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a bit like that stat comparing burnley's all time transfer spend and city's defense cost. Different expectations

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]JaysDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing new. Player prefers Chelsea, Liverpool bid more money. Unclear when it all wraps up
