And it wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to piss him off so much that he wanted out.
Like, who would opt out on a deal when you haven't thrown a full season?
You haven't thrown a season.
And now they've got a 24 million plus 24 million player option.
And I don't think that that is out of the question that they're trying to force his hand and get him to leave.
And then the other one is Shane Bieber, who everyone thought, what a feel-good story.
He's taking the player option because he loves it here.
He took the player option because he wouldn't have been able to pass it physical in any other camp.
I think it was a preview of what's going on there now with all those veteran pitchers.
They're gonna have to move on.
Part of that is the trade deadline where I could see them.
And if fans are looking for return on investment,
when the Jays deal Springer and Gosman and Bieber and maybe Hoffman, Varshow, when they deal all of these guys, don't look for return on investment.
That's advice to the fans, because the Jays are trying to cut payroll.
They're at the highest luxury tax threshold right now, and if they cut $18 million off of
The rest of the season payroll will get below the highest, and it'll save them millions of dollars, which they'll be able to invest next season.
You look at last year when they traded at the deadline, or sorry, 2024.
when they traded all their veteran guys at the deadline on the way to a 74-win season, none of those guys they got back has really helped them, especially in 2025 when they went to Game 7 of the World Series.
None of those guys they got back helped that season, and there's very few who are looking to help this year or next year.
So what you should look for is how do the Blue Jays in the offseason invest the money that they get from $100 million in pending free agents leaving?
