Great to see the Blue Jays win last night in dramatic style. They will be huge underdogs against the Dodgers but nobody expected them to go this far. They never give up so don't count them out.

Nobody expected much of anything out of them. We are barely a few months away from thinking Guerrero was going to leave.

If they pull it off it would be an incredible feat. Ohtani is amazing though so it's going to be very difficult.

I bet you’d be shocked to learn Toronto had the 5th highest wage bill in MLB. That is also a bear pit of a stadium to play in when the roof is closed. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they won it.

Yeah, they benefit A LOT from being the only Canadian team with a 40 million market and the power of Rogers sponsorship and ownership behind them. They're subsidized by every Canadian sports fan who just wants to watch hockey under the Rogers Sportsnet monopoly in this country. It's essentially another YES.

100%. After last season, there was a lot of conversation on whether or not the Jays would commit to a rebuild given the upcoming free agency of Vladdy and Bichette.

Signing Vladdy to that long-term deal was a real culture shift imo. Made some nice deals and signings as well (Gimenez, IKF, Bieber) along with the emergence of Barger.
