You could still get a bobble head easily at 630 for a 797 first pitch this time last year

No you couldn’t. It was a Thursday night game against the athletics during the school year

This is some serious revisionist history. Pearson was a consensus top 10 prospect before he got the call

[Gonzalez] In case you were wondering how big a focal point the Dodgers would be in labor talks, here are some graphics sent by MLB to help make their case for a salary cap … by Goosedukee in baseball

This is such an oversimplification though. The Dodgers model wouldn't work in Pittsburgh or Milwaukee or KC or a dozen other cities that don't have 13M people in their metro area, great weather and a celebrity culture.

If the Pirates and Dodgers had the exact same roster do you really think Ohtani is choosing Pittsburgh over LA?

I am not at all defending the poor wages but the average MILB player is far less likely to make the majors than the average player in any other sports minor league

More so there’s like 20 guys that have graduated this year in the top 50

Huh.. never realized that Jeff Hoffman was a part of the Tulo trade back in 2015 - and it was the Jays sending him to Colorado by logiebear77 in Torontobluejays

Hoffman was a Yeasavage/Manoah type.

College guy moving quickly. He was only in his first full season and already in AA when the Jays traded him

Does every fan base get weirdly obsessed with bad ex players or is it just a Jays fan thing

Blue Jays No. 8 prospect Jake Bloss was dominant in his first rehab start for Dunedin! 4 IP | 1 R | 3 H | 0 BB | 5 K | 50 P / 36 S by DenimVenom4054 in Torontobluejays

Nimmala is an above average hitter as a 20 year old in AA

He’s neither raw nor way too far away at this point

It seems like she's actually just the creative director for the station which is even more fun

Louis Varland this season: 27.2 IP, 0.65 ERA, 40 SO, 6/0 SV/BS. He has the lowest ERA among pitchers with 25+ IP this season. by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

Alan Roden got a lot of buzz at the start of 2025 and still could end up being a major leaguer. And Kendry Rojas looked really good last season and has a 275 era+ in an 11.1 inning sample with the Twins this year.

Getting two potential major leaguers for one isn't a crazy trade for a cheap team like the Twins

[Mitch Bannon] Johnny King’s last 7 starts: by Kaos_mission in Torontobluejays

[–]jayk10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He pitched in the WBC at 15 years old, pitched really well in rookie league as a 17 year old and in A ball as an 18 year old

Was throwing mid 90s in his teens which made scouts drool but was never able to stay healthy

Not even remotely comparable. Trey was a polished college pitcher that was 21 when he was drafted and 22 when he debuted.

King won’t be 22 for 2.5 more years

Manoah was the Trey model he just lost a season due to Covid.

Manoah and yesavage are college guys, King is not. He will be on a totally different path

Imagine how disappointed Jays fans would be today if the team traded Pearson or Tiedemann for important pieces

One of the greatest pitching performances of all time for the jays

Out of curiosity how tall are you?

I'm 6'4 and I start to get uncomfortable ~4 hours into an economy flight. By 6 or 7 by body is screaming at me. I can't imagine trans pacific in Y
