Vladdy Drops BOMBSHELL on Jays Front Office…

1. Glad Rogers spent $400 million on that stadium. When Vladdy leaves in free agency revenue will PLUMMET BIG TIME. Their marquis entertainment product will be starting for the NY Yankees.

2. If they don't extend Vladdy I will boycott the Jays and Rogers until ownership changes or they show they are serious about fielding a contending team. I will watch baseball still, but not the Jays. I think I will root for my 2nd favorite team and watch them instead, thankfully they have an owner who wants to win which is a radical change for that franchise.

3. I bet you they lowballed him probably offered him 10 years $250 million . At one point he would have done $300 but I believe after Soto got that much , the number starts at $400

4. The 7/150 was buying 4 years of arbitration as well. You have to consider that

5. If we are to compete with the Red Sox Yankees orioles we need to spend some money, we may have to overpay for Vladdy and that’s just the business right now.

6. What are the blue jays doing? Obviously they are not gonna sign Vlady or Bo! Just trade them now! Don’t let them walk and get nothing in return

7. if rogers resigns shapiro, i hope vlad leaves.

8. Jays are managing to have a worse off-season then last year

9. Trade him and get something
   You can't pay a guy 400-500 million who hasn't won a playoff game..

10. I miss AA in the worst way right about now.

11. Hell be a met

12. Adkins has to be the worst GM in baseball He is going to ruin any chance the Jays have

13. Give him his 550 million for 10 years

14. Ross akin wake the hell up

15. Vald will not be a Jay next year. This team will remain mid for years as well. It's like the Jays want to be the Miami Marlins. However, the sheep will continue to go to the games, and suffer. It's simple: don't reward bad ownership with money by showing up.

16. 🫢 Oh, no, this is absolutely terrible! Sounds like we are heading into a complete rebuild. If this is the direction the team is going, then they must fire Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro. Bringing in a new management team with a new vision, new strategy, and new message to the faithful Blue Jays fans.

17. #ThankYouJohnny

18. Sotos huge contract added an extra 50-100 million too Vladdy.

19. This is the trickle effect of the Soto deal. No player is worth Soto money, but you can at least make the argument for Ohtani that he also is an ace calibre pitcher who brings in revenue. Soto’s deal might kill the future of the mlb. His deal is a decade ahead of its time, should have maxed out at $500 mil. Vladdy is not worth more than $340, but will get a lot more on account of the horrendous Soto contract.

20. Vladdy has been too inconsistent to warrant more than 350 mill imo

21. Vladdy is worth way more than half of what Soto is – pay the man his maaaynee!

22. Pure incompetence from Shapiro and Atkins, so done with these clowns

23. I told you, Teddy won't pay. Vladdy is the heart and soul.

24. Have fun with that Albert pujols contract

25. He needs to go to free agency

26. Edward, just fire Atkins. Good for YOUR business.

27. 7yrs 150m after when he finished second to Ohtani in MVP back in 21 is a joke. Tatis got over 300m with less achievement.. forget about 340m extension which is an insult too. Vlad, go ahead and please test FA so you can get paid handsomely by teams like the Yanks. Rogers better fire everybody from the front office.. same group that push out AA pretty much did nothing since then…

28. This tells me that Vlad played like shite on purpose and changed it in May last season so that he can get more, I say get rid of him….his attitude is disgusting. This is him manipulating the situation. He is a first baseman, he doesn't run the bases well, he just hits and that's it. 200 mil in 2021 sure nothing now from my standpoint, let some else take him on. I'm done with Bo, they see that the owner has money; that is taking advantage.

29. Trade him, get what you can and move on. I believe this offer was dictated by Rogers and the damage has been done. What we probably need is new ownership committed to winning.

30. Sign Pete. Trade Vlad.

31. Vladdy is good to go. Our boss will get a buddy from cleveland to replace him. Don't worry, that is much cheaper.😂😂😂😂

32. Trade them and get some more consistent players.

33. I'm getting the impression that the front office doesn't like Vlad and lowballing him so he leaves.

34. thanks juan soto

35. this is corporate baseball management at its best

36. It is called negotiations. Comment when it is over. Not now.

37. After Shapiro saying vladdy was a good player not a generational player we all should have known they under value him. They always say they’re going to stick to their evaluations but clearly their evaluations suck, look at the jays farm system

38. As a soon to be DH, Vlad is not worth the contract he will receive. Ohtani's contract because of its structure & inflation, is actually worth 10yr X $46mil = $460mil. Vlad is going to get a bigger contract than Ohtani. Jays should overpay to sign one of Hernandez or Santander & then immediately move Guerrero to the Mariners for Luis Castillo (3yrs of control). Then scoop up one of Bregman or Alonso, who appear to not have many suitors with the $ to sign them.

39. His "off" years were 32, and 26 HR respectively, with 90+ RBI on teams with an anemic offense. People act like he hit 12 HR and had 50 RBI in those years.

40. If Vlad was offered $340 mil recently I would say that's a fair offer but I think $400 is definitely the max. Vlad is an above average hitter but not the best we've seen. Gets 30 HRs on average and a decent BA. Defense is avg. I wouldn't low ball him but I don't think his is worth a giant payday. On the otherhand, if the dont pay Vlad, what are they left with? Not a heck of a lot.

41. Mets are about to offer Guerro a 10 year 1 billion dollar deal

42. At this point, trade them all and get prospects. Rebuild. Fire Shatkins and Shapiro. Thanks Rogers for saving me from this dumpster fire this coming season. I won't be watching. Attendance will be in the toilet as well.

43. This front office must go ASAP
    I knew these guys couldn't handle big market teams like Jays. They are going to have a huge setback next few years.

44. Jays fan here…not livid at all. He’s a very good player but if one guy is gonna take 40-50 mill a year for us to continue to be mediocre whats the point?
