How confident are you in Blue Jays management moving forward? | Tim and Sid Show 

Thank god he’s going to the Mets

and then everybody says "why did they trade Donaldson?" if all the other pieces fell into place this year. (Injuries, pitching, etc). This is sports. You can't predict the future.

@@kevinblack16 no one was saying that, a year ago everyone was saying this team was done, it was super clear. You definitely can't predict the injuries but they were never ever ever going to make the playoffs as red sox and Yankees were stacked. They could have gotten quite a bit for him if they traded him last year, it was painful to watch them not do it as the months went by.

Yep; St.Louis would have sold their farm to the Jays last summer for Donaldson.Jays blew it.But I am sure the pressure was from the fans as to not trade him. So the fans are to blame too.But only Shatkins knew if they were going to make a qualifying offer after 2018 season to Donaldson.That's the real question.I doubt it because they Vlad Jr was coming up for 3rd base in 2019.

@@johnb4632 i think if you let the fans influence your decisions as a GM you shouldn't be a GM. Fans have unrealistic views of how to run a team.

helder gasper; But fans pay the salaries of players. Do you know why the Red Sox and Yankees have the best teams yes money but if the Yankees or Red Sox lose 3 games in row the NY and Boston fans freak out and they speak their minds which effects the GM's decisions. Fans in these cities force their GM's to make moves.

Atkins is more loyal to the Indians than the Jays. That clown doesn’t even know how to manage a paper bag.

These fuddus can't even look into the eyes of the fanbase. 2 years in and still not even a damn rough sketch of the stadium redesign. They have no idea wtf they're doing.

THIS !!

Not Gibbons!

Gibbons can't manage pitchers to save his life.

The farm system needs work.

Luc Fox agreed

Shapiro is a POS who cant manage the Jays

James G Encarnacion was a free agent and able to sign wherever he wanted. And as far as Shappy trading Donaldson to the Indians, teams trade with other front offices they are comfortable or have a long relationship with most of the time.

James G These look like forced trades from sports games

You are not right about any of those players. Edwin was offered more money by the Jays, Osuna had some serious personal problems and he traded himself plus the closer they got has been lights out, and donaldson was an aging asset who cant stay healthy.

Osuna was more than a baseball move, and in fairness did get the closer for the World Series champs.

Well, he didn't compete this year at all, maybe they know something that we don't about his physical condition.

And Tulowizki of course

Feel for the situation they've been put in? They were handed a legit world series Contender and have completely destroyed the team. They purposely low balled Edwin knowing full well what he was looking for, so offered him well under that KNOWING he wouldn't take it. And it was his first time exploring free agency and wanted to see what his value was and jays wouldn't give him that chance, so they withdrew the offer and handed it to morales basically. Then Jose has one bad season avg wise but was still one of the jays most productive hitters leading jays in walks and runs scored and was 4th for HRS and RBIs. Was also 4th in RF fielding % in the AL just behin Mookie betts last season which nobody talked about and both had same amount of errors but Jose had more assists. So one bad season and they don't even entertain bringing him back on a tiny contract, when he was one of the main players fans paid money to watch. If u watch the games there, every jersey u see has his name on it just about or other guys that no longer play there. And then Osuna, nobody even knows what happened yet and chances are charges will get dropped and jays chase him out of town like some monster. And now JD is gone. Albeit some of these are tough business decisions, but what's left to show for them? THe Jays have no character anymore, no players fans pay money to come and see nor care about. They are scary bad and scary boring now. Just a bunch of filler pieces fitting together to make a very mediocre at best team. They better pray Vladdy turns out Ok. IMO they are placing too much stress on him, making it seem like they're entire future rests on his shoulders. And I hope he isn't resenting them not being called up, cause he's more than earned it and can't see him being ok with waiting another season while hitting nearly .400 in minors.

Is Tulo done playing?

Lol this comment aged well :)

@@MegaZaki2000 you know what also aged well, the habs getting swept in the SCF and then missing the playoffs the year after

When they stop working for Cleveland, maybe...

Josh Chris no I’m 1

...do you like the jays??

Wait, two years.
