Great move by you guys. AA continues to shine. Congrats to you guys on having a team that has a clue as to what they are doing.
Ditto this. Wish we had ownership/management that would commit to making moves like this.

Sorry if I sounded like I was gloating, I was just stoked that we have a potential 5-tool player guarding center field. In his prime, Vernon Wells was a warrior and I hope Rasmus can continue to portray the footsteps of Wells.

Is Steward a scrap piece though?

Stotle said his O's comp would be Arrieta.

With Stewart, he wasn't going to amount to anything special with the Blue Jays. There are just too many players ahead of him on our depth chart like Drabek, Romero, Morrow, Cecil and Vilaneuva. Frankly, he has been very disappointing in my own opinion as I though he had a good chance to make our roster out of spring training and compete as our #5 guy. But he hasn't improved enough and to make matters worse is that he was the center piece in the Scott Rolen trade; who went on to provide gold glove caliber defense on a position the Jays are haunted at, 3B.

It was very tough to see Jason Frasor go, he was our all time appearance leader and put so much time, blood, sweat and tears for our franchise. He was often targeted as the goat of our fanbase because he didn't having closer pedigree and blew some saves at the start of 2010 season. But I miss Laura Frasor too, we went to the same middle school in Burlington, Ontario. And it seems both sides have moved on, Frasor will likely re-sign with the White Sox.

Jason will be the most unappreciated Jays player of all time and was honestly one of the nicest people I've met.

And now, according to mlbtraderumors, the Cards are prioritizing SS. Could have potentially dealt Guthrie, Hardy and perhaps JJ or Koji and wound up with Rasmus, Shelby Miller and more.

Sorry, pipe dream, no way they'd deal both Rasmus and Miller. I don't think they'd deal Miller no matter what. They will go mid-level SS.

      As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.

      For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk.

      I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.

      Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy.

      So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?

      A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”

      Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
