It’s incredibly discouraging that I kinda just don’t care

If the team didn’t care enough to do anything to make this team better than why should I care when they aren’t good enough to win?

But hey…how about those cup holders

Exactly this…There was a disconnect with the Jays and their fans last year and this offseason just added fuel to the fire

The Manager/FO isn’t very likeable and the team sure as hell isnt enjoyable to watch

Not sure how the most optimistic Jays fans have much hope these days

I see a lot of the “it’s only been 7 games” comments and typically that would be a perfectly reasonable response….except this is game 169 including last season

This is who they were last year and it’s still who they are now

Just imagine if the pitching takes a step back 🫣

What Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro have done is like basically making a sequel to Madame Web

Unwatchable a week in lol

It’s as if there was no offseason and that the 2023 season has just continued with the exact same players and struggles

This might be more run support than what Gausman got in all his starts last year combined lol

Some shitty games in between but a split at the Trop is always a win for this team

Encouraging start

Coming off a season where a stress free win was a total rarity, I can’t say loud enough how enjoyable of a win that was

Great at bats
Great swings
Great pitching

It’s literally one game but a nice statement win to begin a pivotal season

Go Jays!

Biggio is an X-factor for this team

Last season after May 23rd, he hit 266/378/407 in 270 ABs

There has been so much mediocrity prior to that extended stretch that it’s tough to suggest he is that player again but if he is….big X factor

My 2024 take: Vladdy needs to rake

The rotation is strong and the supporting cast should be good enough but VGJ remains the most important guy on this team

Either he brings it altogether and leads them into WS contention or he doesn’t and the team falls short

It’s that simple

Love him or hate him, I don’t think the passionate rebirth of baseball in Toronto happens without Josh Donaldson

Jays had talent back in those pre 2015 years but didn’t have the swagger or winning mentality needed

Josh Donaldson (and Russell Martin!) brought that

Congrats JD

I can’t fathom any reason why the Jays wouldn’t have been all over that

Cherry on top of what has been quite the discouraging offseason

Matt Chapman is a real interesting case study

I feel fans are split

Half dont want him back while the other half want him over anything we have

If it’s just the Jays and Giants on 1yr deal, he’s gotta choose Jays, no?

You don’t go to that SF park to rebuild value as a hitter

2/15M for IKF is standing out as one of the worst free agent signings in MLB all off season

I’m sure he’s a useful player but man it feels like the Jays were way too aggressive to sign this guy over his versatility compared to similar free agent signings

Hope he proves us wrong
