We do seem to be in better spirits than around this time last year, don't we...

Spring training is over and the Jays had the best record in the Florida side of spring training, so playoffs are guaranteed, right?

Obviously a big concern in MLB (especially with guys like Cole going down) is how many starters do you need if you are to contend in 2025? 5? 6? 16? Hard to say. Also how badly does the quality drop after the first 5? Let's do some digging.

There are eleven games left in spring training so it is time for a new thread.

Or not. Hey, it is spring, time for dreams and fantasies. Orelvis an MVP with 50+ HR, Bo back to leading the league in hits, etc.

Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Old thread overloaded, time for a new one.

Yep, we got him.

Well, the winter keeps going and we're nearing Spring Training so what is the status vs past Jays teams?

Well, Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner were all elected to Hall of Fame. 1 vote shy of 100% for Ichiro.

5 years, opt out after 4, Jays can lock in year 5 with a guarantee for year 6. Appears to be for $92.5 mil with a max value of $110 if the extra year happens.

Well, the old thread is over 400 now, as our emotions get played with yet again.

Figured I had to come up with a new topic as the old one is getting pretty full, so why not compare last years offense to all Jays teams from 1977 to now while we wait to see where Anthony Santander, Alex Bregman, and other top free agents sign (such as Jack Flaherty, Pete Alonso, Jeff Hoffman who wants to be a starter again, and others) sadly, they probably all sign outside of Toronto given how this winter has gone.

So what to talk about? Jays are kind of stuck right now waiting on Teoscar, Santander, and Burnes to make up their minds as to who they go to, and maybe waiting on Bregman as well

Well, the old thread was overflowing so time for a new one.

The baseball winter meetings start Monday in Dallas. The big news is expected to be a Juan Soto signing, possibly as early as Sunday evening. There are many other players looking for a new team and a Soto signing would start the process of getting other players off the shelf. There are several very good pitchers yet to sign.
