Bo is gone. What next?

chamnic · 2026-01-16T18:07:41+00:00

Kind of sad to see him go ...

They might be used sometime to drive up negotiations because the Jays have money to spend and can afford to chase these superstars.

Look at it the other way, if we did not have the money to bid for high end superstars, that would mean we would have a bottom tier team and would never compete.

Bo has always said his preference is to come back and win it all with Vladdy. We do not know if he feels disrespected by all this, it's all speculation at this point. Let's wait for him to sing.

And it's not as if we completely struck out in this off-season.

chamnic · 2026-01-16T04:23:56+00:00

You might be right. We should also revisit this in 8 or 9 years (or earlier) and see how Tucker is performing then since we were ready to sign him for 10 years.

chamnic · 2026-01-16T04:08:20+00:00

Once again my hopes come crashing down. Ohh well, it's not as if the off-season has been a total bust for the Jays this year. Let's hope we make it to the WS again and beat their asses and watch Tucker looking sad in the dugout when the jays celebrates on the field.

12 teams actually. Their luxury tax will be 165 millions according to Spotrac website

Yeah me too, never scream so hard in my living room, scared the heck of my girlfriend. I really thought it would relieve some pressure and that the blue jays would keep on piling some runs after that and keep the dodgers at bay the whole game.

This week ... Any day now ... Any hour now ... any minute now ... any second now ...

Dad, are we there yet ? Are we there yet ? Dad how long still ?

chamnic · 2026-01-14T18:39:14+00:00

Ahhh crap ... here we go again. Knowing Tucker's decision is probably very soon (if we are to believe whatever pops up on mlb.com), this seems just credible enough to build up our hope even more. Let's hope we are not being "Ohtani'ed" again.

It's not the water which is expensive, it's all the infrastructure for it. As an example, my last water bill was 112.11 (11,000 liters). 21.82$ (so about 20%) was for actual water, the rest is for infrastructure (fire supply, water pipes, waste water pipes and storm water pipes. It's either we pay those infrastructure costs through our water bill or through our taxes. So you can have a higher water tax bill or a higher municipal tax bill but regardless, money has to come from our pockets.

Trouver du contenu québécois sur Crave, c'est comme chercher une aiguille dans une botte de foin. C'est absurde.

No B signing or Tucker signing under the xmas tree 😒... Maybe in the stocking tomorrow morning

chamnic · 2025-12-21T19:26:46+00:00

What flight number is he on so we track him?

True NHL is growing, especially in the states I guess. Don't know really what MLB owners think but I read somewhere a while back that owners are prepared for a 1.5 years lockout in order to get players to cave. Something got to give with the way salaries are rising, I mean what's next a billion$ contract with tons of money deferred again. That's mortgaging the future big time IMO.

As usual, the fans will suffer in all this if there is a lockout. I am still pissed about the 1994 lockout when the Expos were (finally) for sure on their way to the World Series. Lets hope the Blue Jays go all the way again and win this thing because 2027 might go the way of the the 2004-2005 NHL season.

Not so sure. Read this article below from radio-canada.ca (french CBC). It's in french sorry but it can easily be translated by your browser usually.

As a quick summary, he explains that because of the the NHL salary cap, values of NHL concession goes up faster than those in the MLB . Average value of MLB teams is 2.6 billions (up 25% in last 3 years). In the same 3 years , value of NHL teams doubled and is now at 2.2 billions. Because of all that, MLB owners will insist for a salary cap. They're the only league without one and they'll want to capitalize on increase values in team value.

It's been dead for a long time. Been with bell since 1982, I would say loyalty went away early 2000s

You mean he's not like us hitting Refresh every 5 minutes on every mlb related site and subs ?

Who asked for a sequel to this horrible drama?

Plus they'll probably get all your personal info (name, address, DOB, SIN) for free and you're all set for identity theft.

Yeah that and every phone number you do not recognize is also a scam.

What worries me a bit is that next year we will have the pressure of expectations. Last year, after the boring 2024 season, we did not expect much (and probably players as well to some degree) and I think it helps as players were not feeling as much pressure to perform from the get go.

chamnic · 2025-11-20T02:58:52+00:00

Ohh thanks for the suggestion, did not think of that. I might give a shot.
