What might the Blue Jays’ payroll look like in 2022? On Tuesday we may not have gotten the answer, but we certainly got something to think about. And how might the future of the Blue Jays be affected by Edward Rogers’ removal from his position as chairman of the board of Rogers Communications? That’s maybe a little murkier. So let’s talk about it!
I refuse to believe that all these high-powered business execs and political people are constantly pocket-dialling people at conveniently crucial times.
But then again over the past few years that a lot of these people in high-powered positions are also kinda stupid, so maybe I have to rethink my opinions.
Re The boardroom stuff. Ed will likely use his family's controlling interest to kick all the board members off who voted against him, install new people, and be installed as Chairman again, and then that will be the end of Joe Natale.
Loft roster plans have been all the scuttlebutt in the fansided conversation. Get Thor! Get Ray and Semien back. Get Ramírez too. Trade Gurri. Trade everybody not Vlady and Bo. Some folks have very unrealistic ideas about what is possible. Not that possibilities don't abound.
As you say, more modest acquisitions are much more likely for the kind of money that is going to be available. Ramírez would be a big splash of course, but maybe Eduardo Escobar? In any case I see how alarm bells went off when you read that tweet. They spelled calibre wrong. Very fishy.
Great read, Andrew!
