A national disaster for Canada and a felony offence for Shapiro and Atkins. #shatkins #bluejays #tothecore #toronto #mlb

I will say that Mark Shapiro needs to take a step back and really evaluate his commitment to the concept of "sharing risk". It's a notion he raises often, and it rarely ends well. I don't think the Jays' FO ever fully factors in the loss of opportunity with the loss of the player.

This one is going to go down in the annals of #Bluejays history as one of the greatest front office screw-ups this team has ever had. A generational talent - though they won’t admit it - who wants to spend his entire career in Toronto, and they won’t meet his price. Here’s Gregor’s early story:

The promo schedule isn’t out yet, but the worst @BlueJays giveaway this year is definitely Vladdy. ❤️‍🩹

This #bluejays #vlad

Don't mind me...just over here processing the #bluejays news this morning. 🤧

Dear @bluejays.com: Letting go of #Vladdy - an all-star franchise player, born in Canada, fan favourite that WANTS to play here is a disgrace. Losing Othani and Soho is one thing, but this is unforgivable, cuz the $ is there. #BlueJays must fire #Shatkins and Shapiro. Bye Rogers, hi Bell.

Welcome Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum Class of 2025: Amanda Asay, Jose Bautista, Erik Bedard, Greg Hamilton, Arleene Noga & Gerry Snyder! Visit our website here to learn more: baseballhalloffame.ca/welcome-hall...

Jose Bautista began as a MLB journeyman. Now the Blue Jays slugger is a Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer. "It was my pleasure to play in Canada for 10 years, so to have that reflected with this induction is a real treat.”

Love this reunion - KK's back home with the #BlueJays! #TOTHECORE #MLB #BaseballCanada Now, let's lock in Vladdy.

Chris Bassitt pumped about former teammate Max Scherzer joining Blue Jays.

If the #BlueJays sign both Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman, I will take back every mean, sarcastic thing I have ever said about Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro

It stank then...it done stank now too!!!!

Germans know fascist wannabes when they see them.

Mark and Ross: Vladdy? Let do this... Vladdy's agent: Gracias...go Bluejays!!! #MakeItHappen #SignVladdyNow

Heyman: Max Scherzer to sign with the Blue Jays.

IS THIS A DONE DEAL?? Scherzer to the #BlueJays???? Now, Vladdy. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/blue...

This might read as good news but it looks like Alonso's new agent has a rep for asking for moonshot deals. So the news? No news. But, as ever, the #BlueJays goss is still the same temperature. HOT.

Imagine being like 'yo dude can you spot me a few grand? I just went on Instagram'. Amazing.

HAPPY DEEP LEFT FIELD DAY!!! Ep234 drops later today - you’ll hear my thoughts on what Ross Atkins said (or more to the point, didn’t say) at the Anthony Santander newser and a great interview with Ayami Sato, who is poised to become the first woman to ever play in the Intercounty Baseball League!

I hope one day this kid will know the significance of this, and all cards are/were.

Stewart was more famously an Oakland A though... but dope to see Juan Guzman in the photo!

Never thought I'd say this but I'm going to hold off dumping on the #BlueJays Ross Atkins for a bit and see what's up. Vladdy (& Bo) are MISSION CRITICAL ATM, but the hot goss re: Max, Alonso, Breg etc. are just that. Getting all amped up isn't helping my mental state, so I'm gonna CHILL WINSTON.

getting Anthony Santander is a good step... getting him for a $14 million CBT hit is even better... now Jays have to do more www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Well, that's great news! Santa is a great holiday gift... but it's like getting a xmas gift as a kid, with no batteries. Super happy, yet not the complete package. I won't complain though - Santa's a great get - hopefully he brings a bunch of 4 base bags this season!

Sasaki goes to LA. #BlueJays left with blue balls, YET AGAIN.

Not this again. I was one of the 'Sho-to-TO' flight followers on Twitter, and that sucked. Although, I will give props to the #BlueJays FO for hanging in. In a world where we extend Vlad-Bo, sign Roki and get a Bregman/Alonso, I'll be first to admit I was wrong on Atkins/FO. PLEASE LMB WRONG

Have you checked out today's new episode of Deep Left Field yet? You're gonna love it! Canadian women's national team shortstop Mia Valcke joins me - she won the Ashley Stephenson Award this weekend - and highlights of new #Bluejays reliever Jeff Hoffman's media zoom. Plus - Sasaki & Suzuki!

There you have it people. 😒 BREAKING: The Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have settled at 28.5M for the 2025 season. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/blue... #BlueJays #TOTHECORE #MLB #BaseballCanada

The late great Rickey Henderson only graced the #BlueJays for 84 days. Long enough to do a promo for Bob McCown's show, though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV5L...
