They would know best if they have a chance to extend him or not. If they believe they can’t, then it makes some sense. The problem is they are trying to compete now. Bichette is not Soto, but he still has two seasons left. Chicago has a deep farm system with six top 100 players in Pipeline. If I was Toronto, I’d set the price steep. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Matt Shaw, and two more top 100. If Crow-Armstrong is off the table, then the price is the other five top 100.

If that’s too steep for the Cubs, that’s fine. Go compete the next two seasons with Bichette in his 26-27 age seasons.

On the ADD side of the ledger, they are among the Passan-reported "Final Four" for Ohtani, and now this tonight.     

The Blue Jays core overall has disappointed the last couple seasons, but notwithstanding that it seems correct for them to keep pushing for present wins before Bo and Vlad earn FA.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.

      So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?

      “Dramatics”? That’s an interesting way of framing my opinion. I promise you I am as calm and cool as a cucumber. There’s no “dramatics” going on here. As you know, numbers fluctuate during any given period of time in the season. Good/great players have bad/cold stretches and bad/terrible players have good stretches. IMO we do not possess the type of top end talent at the back end of the bullpen needed to win multiple rounds against the best opposition in October.  If you are confident in Cano/Kimbrel or worse in Vespi/Baker/Perez/etc getting Soto and Judge out in a big spot late in the game in Yankee stadium in October, that is fine. I am not.  Just as an observer of baseball, Holmes is a much better pitcher than any reliever that we have. I would be much more confident in his talent than any reliever that we have. Now if we had Felix that would be one thing. But this season we do not. And I would hate for a team as good as ours to be held back by not making the needed/necessary move(s) before we get into October.  IMO we did that last season (with the starting pitching) and it didn’t end well. And I acknowledge that everybody doesn’t think like me nor have the same championship expectations/aspirations. Some fans/posters here have stated as much and that they are happy if we have a winning team year after year or if we just make it into the tournament year after year, regardless of results when we get there. And that’s fine. That’s just not my desired outcome. The great thing about this board is that we don’t have to agree and are able to express our opinions.

      Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.
