They will be over $120 million payroll for the next few years.

$105.8 million for 2013 right now. Similar for 2014.

Do they own a RSN that I am not aware of?

Fantastic. The Jays are just sliding right into the Red Sox place in the AL East, and in 2014 we will have them back in the mix to compete with as well.

They are owned by their RSN, Rogers Communications, which broadcasts the Blue Jays all over Canada. Rogers had $12.4 billion in revenue and $4.7 bb in profits last year.

That's a perfect combination... you can get some fancy ass performance enhancers up there in pharmaceutical heaven.

They have new synthetic testosterones that are appearing on the market that can't be detected unless you get tested within 24-48 hours of taking it. It is gone a day or two later, extremely fast acting and almost impossible to get caught unless you get reaallly unlucky and/or you are stupid.

He will do well there. He will have no trouble getting fast acting synthetic testosterone trans dermal at the beginning of each home stand.

Yeah, I don't like to be accusatory, but something has to be going on their right? Seriously, you don't just hit on two guys like Bautista and Encarnacion without something fishy going on. Do you?

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By interloper · Posted

      A lot of teams are pretty injured and have worse depth than us. I'm not saying that's the reason, but it's a reason to believe maybe we can maintain our offense throughout the season better than other teams.

      This is probably as close to clicking on all cylinders as most teams get.  In any given 24-game period, some guys will be up and others down.  We have 9 players with an OPS+ of 116 or higher.  The four guys you mentioned will have hotter periods, and someone else will be cold then.  That’s baseball.  But the ratio of hot players to cold ones is really good right now.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      I don’t see it.  Project guy.  Good upside but can’t see that in the first round. I think they go corner with the first pick unless someone unexpectedly drops. The assumption has been Oline but I think the draft is so deep and so many teams will be taking tackles that the Ravens will elect to wait until later in the draft to get Oline and WR help. Its not a deep corner draft, so getting one early makes sense. If they trade up, I wouldn’t think they trade anything higher than a 4th..could move up 3-6 spots. Trade back will likely get them a pick for next year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Gunnar is our Kyle Tucker but at a more premium position.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I said Gunnar earlier. Before this season, I could have seen a case for Adley.  And I love Adley, great hitter (I don't think he's ever going to be a big power guy, but plate approach, contact, key hits, he's great) leader, heart and soul, etc.   But it's clearly Gunnar.  I didn't expect him to be this good, this fast.  He's separating himself from the rest of the pack, not only on this team but throughout the league. Whether or not an extension can happen is a different story altogether.  But Gunnar's the guy I'd go with first.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      It is early, but the O's have some clear holes that will prevent a World Series run this season. And it looks like there are some teams playing there way out of contention already, barring a massive improvement in performance, making them likely sellers. At a quick glance, here are the teams that already could be looking to sell at the deadline. Some teams on the list made some offseason moves that signaled they are looking to compete. But early returns aren't looking good, and now they have an old team with pieces someone may find helpful, and without much talent in the pipeline. Tier 1 Losers Rockies White Sox Marlins Tier 2  - Not Looking Good Oakland Giants Angels Astros Cardinals Nationals I haven't really taken much look at the rosters to see what pieces could help us. So, who is selling? And Which of their pitchers have a chance to be on the market?

      I still feel like our offense isn't clicking on all cylinders yet. Santander has been down, Adley hasn't found alot of extra base power, Holliday has been a black hole so far, Hays was bad and now injured, Urias hasn't hit well.
