Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training & AL East OutlookToronto Blue Jays Front Office Do You Miss Alex Anthopoulos? - "Every freaking day."Anthopoulos and Beeston were more transparent & connected with fansAtkins is more of a spokesperson, while Shapiro makes the decisions.Blue Jays' High Payroll & Poor Roster ManagementPayroll is around $271M, making them the 5th highest-spending team.Despite spending, the team lacks major offseason upgrades.Concerns over failing to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.Luxury Tax & Future Uncertainty & Aging playersFuture of MLB's luxury tax and potential salary cap/floor in 2027.Rogers invested $300M in stadium renovations,Leadership shakeup could be imminent Pitching staff (e.g., Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt) is among oldest in MLB.George Springer and other key veterans are aging.Farm System Ranked around 23rd-24th in MLBThe team could face a major decline in 2026-2027 iTrade & Deadline ImplicationsIf Jays struggle by midseason, major trades (Guerrero, Bichette) could happen."It feels like a one-year prove-it-or-lose-it situation." Jays seemingly pursued top players like Shohei Ohtani & Juan Soto but didn't land them.Fanbase is already fed up with Shapiro & Atkins, especially after the 2023 playoff controversy (José Berríos decision).Bright Spots in Spring Training - Alan Roden (OF, Triple-A prospect)Discussion on Tampa Bay Rays Attendance and Team DevelopmentsExpects Better Attendance in 2025 in Tampa - highlighted the limited stadium capacity of around 15,000-16,000.Attendance fluctuates, it often spikes when teams like the Yankees come to town. Rays should take over George Steinbrenner Field in Tampa rather than remain in St. Petersburg or move to Ybor City.Blue Jays Roster Outlook newly acquired second baseman Andrés Giménez and veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, including Jeff Hoffman and Chad Green and the re-signing of Ryan Yarbrough.Brent Cardy expects a strong season from Bichette if he remains healthy.Bichette has a history of leading the league in hits and could do so again.Defensive ability at shortstop, though he may have some DH days.Bichette's bat speed decline in 2024, potentially linked to concussion issuesBichette is still a tough out and a crucial piece of the Blue Jays' success.Farm System ranked 24th - Notable prospects include:Jonatan Clase (expected to start in Buffalo).Addison Barger & Davis Schneider (potential minor league assignments).Kendry Rojas (high swing-and-miss potential, could be a future impact arm).Josh KasevichChad Dallas, Ricky Tiedemann, & Alek Manoah (injury setbacks affecting pitching depth).Jays' pitching has been depleted, requiring improvements in drafting and scouting.Catching Depth & Alejandro KirkExpected to play around 115-120 games.Backup options include Heineman, Bethancourt, and Phil Clarke.Kirk could be a 3 WAR player, with Guerrero Jr. potentially at 7-8 WAR, & Bichette at 4 WAR if healthy.Overall Blue Jays Expectations - Cardy predicts 83-84 winsFollow Mat on Blue Sky at https://bsky.app/profile/matgermain.bsky.social, Mark on Blue Sky at https://bsky.app/profile/baseballbizondeck.bsky.socialSpecial thanks to XTaKeRuX for the music “Rocking Forward

On deck: (6:30) The 'second half' of the NBA begins in earnest tonight as the schedule picks up after the All-Star Break. I'll look into my crystal ball to see how the next two months will play out. Will OKC go on a deep playoff run? Are you a believer in the Cavaliers getting to an NBA Finals? How much pressure is on LeBron and Luka to get the Lakers back to the championship round? There are plenty of questions to get answered as I prepare you for what to expect over the last two third of the season. (33:40) College basketball is starting to heat up. Alabama suffers another loss, after being defeated by Auburn last weekend. Is this just a speed bump as they get toward the month of March? Number one ranked Auburn avoids a scare against Arkansas to keep their top ranking in the nation. Kansas continues to be an enigma, losing to unranked BYU by 34, the third worst loss in school history. I'll see what the schedule has on tap this weekend as we're exactly one month away from the NCAA Tournament. (39:28) It should be a battle to witness as the 4 Nations Face-Off concludes with a title game tonight. Will Team USA & Team Canada have a carbon copy of fisticuffs similar to their first game on Saturday night? How will this play out? I'll also take a lay of the NHL landscape as to how the ‘second half' will unfold? Are the Jets and Capitals Cup worthy? Can Florida repeat? Will Edmonton get back to a final? I'll have it all for you as the season reconvenes on Saturday. (55:30) MLB Spring Training is in full swing. One player that has thoughts of a big payday is Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He & his camp were unable to come up with an extension prior to Monday's deadline. What's next? And what will he get on the market? I'll have some news on Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Frankie Montas, Rafael Devers/Alex Bregman and the system when it comes to payroll in the sport. (1:01:36) The NFL is at it again. They've announced that the Chargers will be the home team for the second game in Sao Paolo to start off the year. Was this necessary to announce just ten days after the Super Bowl? Couldn't they have waited?
