General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

And I thought I had a Dad Bod. Disappointing to see he hasn't really taken any further steps to get in better shape.

I am now past the point of hoping that he ever gets in shape

But if he is a groundball machine again this year the pattern will be glaringly obvious as his one elite season will have come after his one offseason of trimming weight

[Jimcanuck]

Trade him before his value drops more.

complete agree, Jimcanuck, in fact perhaps the Belt signing is a precursor

Maybe people thought I was joking/trolling in the Belt signing thread. Trade Vladdy to the Marlins for a couple of their young pitchers.

Completely abolish the barrio

[G-Snarls]

Not sure who if anyone is being sarcastic vs serious here

Belt turns 35 in April, is on a 1 year deal, with no guarantee that he'll actually hit well

Vladdy has had good and bad years, but is 23 and has proven he has the potential of MVP level batting skills

Its already nuked lol. Who is Vlad’s go-to bench buddy now?? Espinal I guess? Kirk?

Vlad is fat

Well shit, that is disappointing to see. He is mourning his friends getting traded and is putting on 5lbs per friend in their honor.

I am being very serious. It is much easier to find an above average 1B with 3 years of control than it is to find two #3 pitchers with potential to be #2 pitchers with 4+ years of control.

Is he actually fatter? I can't tell for sure. He just always looks pretty fat to me whether he's supposedly lost or put on weight.

I don't think he's any BIGGER he's just not any SMALLER.

Well not really because Vlad is still here.

No idea but hopefully he likes the new guys

[Laika]

Cavan Biggio is the utility guy maybe he can grow his hair out and join the Barrio

[connorp]

Vlad is smelling the mega deal by now. He’s working. What he weighs is kind of debatable in terms of what it’ll do.

Is he the kind of guy who relaxes after signing said mega deal?

I worry he might be

Idk. His whole life has been baseball from before he could hold a bat. It’s what he knows. It’s like NBA players, you’d think they’d get their money and thug out, but they love playing basketball. It’s what they know
