The Dodgers have a lot of money and will always be in a strong position to bid for players. But they also have an excellent culture that players love -- it's a group that has a lot of fun together, and a lot of success -- and they have the Jackie Robinson history and resulting tradition no other franchise can match.
The Blue Jays are 'actively negotiating' an extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., per @bnicholsonsmith
BREAKING: Superstar outfielder Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a 15-year, $765 million contract, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest deal in professional sports history.
This article might as well have the headline: “Why Juan Soto won’t be signing with the Blue Jays.”
the pre-pandemic 2019-20 regular season was magical. the post-championship glow. embiid 0 point game. 30-point comeback vs. dallas. 15-game win streak. serge-og scarves war. matt thomas propaganda. an all-time never underestimate the heart of a champion squad.
Juan Soto decision coming soon. Per: @BNightengale “There really are only four teams that are seriously in play for Soto: The Mets, the Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.” Soto could make his decision before winter meetings.
Fred VanVleet is going to be suspended for a lot of games
If you’re wondering what it’s like to live in Toronto… This is my neighbourhood. We learned this week that the city is secretly planning to build an 80 bed men’s shelter in our community. youtu.be/VeRvvHqjNgk
TOUCH 'EM ALL, JOE 🏆🏆 On this day in ‘93, we went back to back!
The Leafs are seen with two options as Mitch Marner enters the final season of his contract: either find the money to extend him or treat him as a rental for one last playoff run, similar to how the Lightning handled Steven Stamkos before letting him walk in the offseason. Toronto could take a page from the Lightning’s playbook, who planned to replace Stamkos’ contract with free-agent Jake Guentzel. The Leafs might follow suit with potential free agents like Mikko Rantanen, Sam Bennett, or Brad Marchand, if they’re still available come July 1. — @RealKyper #LeafsForever
