Final 3 vs Baltimore before the playoffs. Ah, so sweet to think about playoff baseball even if it is a watered down one.

4 vs the Phillies this weekend, including 2 today. Time to buckle down for the stretch drive!

Well, the Jays and all of MLB have already released 2021's schedule (far ahead of usual) probably to try to hype things up a bit before wave 2 hits this fall. The Jays signed all 5 of their draft picks - 5 years in a row they have signed their picks in the first 5 rounds (last missed was 2015 Brady Singer who is with the Royals, signed for 2019 season out of the first round in 2018).

The Jays have released their 60 (58) man roster for Summer Training. 30 will make the big team, 30 will be playing with each other for the season. Hmm...gotta find a better way of saying that.

The two sides are getting closer and closer to a deal - I think we will get some baseball this year after all.
EDIT: We have a season! The league has issued an announcement stating that the owners unanimously agreed to launch the campaign after further negotiations with the players failed to result in a new deal.

Well, not a ton of stuff but what we do have is big.  Owners and players fighting over compensation for players should MLB get going again.  Also time for anew thread that is purely about what is going on now in baseball, even if it isn't much.

MLB is doing a 'dream bracket' battle - interesting to see rosters.  I'm sure everyone here has opinions on it.

The old thread is getting a bit long so time for a new one, plus the winter meetings start tomorrow so a perfect excuse too!

If you haven’t already, grab yourself a cup of coffee and settle in to read Magpie’s thorough and excellent Blue Jays report card. Once you’ve relived the 2019 Jays season once again, it’s time to turn your attention to the thrill of playoff baseball.

I’m creating a separate thread for discussions about the Jays managerial search. The Jays are reportedly down to four finalists: Joe Espada, Brandon Hyde, Rocco Baldelli and a fourth unnamed individual. Ed Sprague and Stubby Clapp are among the names that have reported to have done at least an initial interview, although it’s not clear if either is a finalist.

Lets have a bit of fun.

Cause it ain't.

Well, with this crazy offseason where free agents are now getting desperate the Jays just signed another reliever - RHP Tyler Clippard (a NRI). Wonder if the Jays will get a few more cheap bargains in the upcoming weeks.

This would've been really something about six years ago...
