Now this is a WILD development...

This is a wild development as we are just a couple weeks away from the trade deadline. New reports have started to surface this time surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays and one name that is not only absolutely absurd but has many Jays fans quite fired up to write down this new report and discuss what it means going forward for this team as it involves a Jays trade for Beau Bichette. But not only that, we have a ton of other updates in this video, including some notes ahead of tonight's big series against the White Sox the Jays are about to play. The most crucial stretch of games in a very long time before we get into it, a very quick reminder to hit that subscribe button. You guys have been an absolute beast with the support, ladies and gentlemen, let's dive right into it. So you can see here, and this is from a Sports Illustrated article, but a report dropped late last night from John Heyman, which I'm going to dive into, and it is a update that is some very interesting news for the Jays. I don't want to necessarily say that it is great news per se, but it is some very interesting news here. And essentially, the Mets are going on a full buyer sale, and obviously, the Jays right now, they're 45 and 51. None of this will matter if they go out and they lose 10 games in a row, but they're currently only two and a half games out of a wildcard spot. And Keegan Madison came out and said that he believes the franchise will be buyers rather than sellers. When you got 40,000 people in the house, in the house each night, sorry, good luck selling and good luck telling that to all the millions of people who jumped on this team a year ago. We're actually going to pull back because there's a bunch of teams a half game ahead of us. Good luck with that. That being said, obviously, if they go out and they do, I don't see a world where they sell. I just really don't. And is it the right decision to buy? Probably not if they continue on this trajectory, but again, we're only a few games removed from a three-game winning streak, which is some amount of optimism. But Bo Bichette's name has suddenly become available. The Mets are ready for a buyer sale. So late last night, multiple reports came out, including Chelsea Jaynes of I think Sports New York. A rival executive said that the Mets informed their team that the sale is on and that everyone but young stars, Carson Bench, AJ Ewing, Christian Scott, Nolan McClain, and Juan Soto is available. And if you notice out of that list, who didn't they mention? Bo Bichette, one former Bo Bichette was left off of the list and we saw the way that he was emotional when he returned to Toronto. Maybe he regretted leaving. Maybe he didn't. The amount of money is pretty hefty. But folks, I can't help but think, you know, is there a way that they actually do this? It's a little bit absurd, but there is definitely a way. And it's the conversation that has been brought up a lot now, because if you go ahead and again, he has a player option after this year, basically, he can opt out of his contract. There's opt outs in there. I mean, I don't hate it. I don't love it necessarily, but I think bringing Bo back, it might fix some of the vibes. You add a really talented offensive player, technically a rental, but I'm sure you could maneuver some sort of contract. Just notice my shirt's inside out, but we're going to ride that for the rest of the video because why not? Maybe start a Jays win streak here, but again, you look at his stats this year, pretty bad, right? 669 OPS. The advanced analytics are OK. Obviously, he's been playing a lot of third base and then played some shortstop when Francisco Indore was out with an injury. But I mean, for the Jays, you could slide him in kind of any way. I mean, I assume shortstop, but I don't know if you'd want to move on to some menace off short. The fit's questionable. I mean, you're not going to put him at second base unless you want to move on to Clement around. You have Kazuma Okamoto, but bringing him back would be interesting. I want to bring this up because I want you guys to leave down below in the comments. Would you want to bring back Bo Bichette? Is that something you guys think is reasonable? It would require probably a fairly hefty amount of prospects, though again, he's having a really, really down season. It is a down year. The Jays desperately need more offense. And again, John Heyman came out and he talked about how one thing to keep in mind regarding Bichette and trading him is that while he has a complicating $42 million player options for each of the next two seasons, he was already paid that thanks mostly to a $40 million signing bonus paid in spring. More than 41 million of this year's $42 million, $42 million salary. So it is complicated, but it's not impossible right at the Jays want to go out and always bring this up. There's no salary cap. So like, just go ahead and spend all the money in the world. You know, you're one of the few teams that can actually probably take on that money without it really affecting you. And that's a benefit to maybe you don't have to give up as many prospects because, again, John Heyman reported Mets have moved into cell mode via leak sources. Word is they'll consider anyone outside of the names I mentioned Lindor and Bichette trades aren't thought especially likely, but they're in discussions as is as is sorry. Any desirable player not among the Mets five considered off limits. So Lindor is another name. I don't think I love it, but we have a video on that coming soon. It's trade season, folks. So it's going to get crazy. But I don't know. It makes things intriguing because you have Andres Jimenez at shorts up this year. He hasn't really been good. Bichette has a full no trade clause, which is pretty funny because I think the Jays, again, are a team he definitely waved to go to, though. We're going to have to see if the Jays actually push it forward to get to that point. But Will Salmon asked him about that. He said, I came to New York to win. No trade clause is there for a reason, and I'm just leaving it at that. So, you know, Bo Bichette, a little not saucy, but blunt with the answer, right? The difference this time for the Blue Jays is that they would have to give up some prospects to reunite with Bichette rather than bidding for his services in free agency. Nothing is final. The Jays could be forced to sell. The fans should keep an eye on a potential reunion with one of their favorites. I agree. I think it's I think if they do end up wanting to sell Bo Bichette or rather trade him away, I think the Jays are going to be right up there. He's a team that you'd assume Bo Bichette would wave his no move clause to go to kind of win over the fan base a little bit more from the Jays side of things. You look at your prospect pool. I don't know exactly who you'd be giving up. I mean, maybe, you know, Jake Bloss or, you know, an R.J. Shrek type. I'd definitely give up an R.J. Shrek, maybe recently drafted Jake Cook, like a couple of flyers slash guys that don't have room in the team. I would definitely do that. If you start getting into some of the higher end prospects, I don't think it's worth it at that point, because there's a world where Bo opts out of his player option and then could come to Toronto anyway. Like, as crazy as it sounds, it might be delusional. I do genuinely believe that part of him regrets leaving. But also, you know, Jays are now he could also stop in his player option because it's so much money. Right. And he could just veto anything. But it is, you know, it is interesting stuff, especially when you look at the prospects and who the Jays are going to have to potentially give up in other trades. Now, on the Boba Shett front, the structure of his contract makes it incredibly difficult to trade him in midseason. But I'm wondering if there will be some interest with him playing better over the last one and a half months and his ability to play multiple positions. I have a feeling some of you guys aren't going to want him because of his defense. Again, I think if you can get him for cheap, sure, may as well. Right. There's no harm in that. But if it's going to cost an exorbitant amount, probably don't, because it doesn't seem like be traded. It seems like according to Ken Rosenthal, the Tigers are not expected to trade Tarek Scouble. So you don't need to get in a bidding war for him. The Jays were among a few teams that were linked to him in preliminary discussions. But yeah, comment down below. Would you want to see Vladi, would you want to see Vladi and Bo reunite, get Boba Shett back? It's pretty complicated. Keep in mind, given everything that's kind of went down specifically with how he left and then the media and things like that. But listen, the Mets are willing to trade him. And I think the Jays will be one of a few teams actually that are knocking on the door calling because, again, any team that trades for him has to assume the player options for the next two seasons. And if they don't feel comfortable affording that, like you're not going to get the Rays or, you know, the Rockies probably going for that, the Jays, they definitely can. There's the lockout as well. It could be on the horizon. But it's going to be interesting. But again, these next few weeks are absolutely crucial. We have a game tonight against the Jays have a game tonight against the White Sox, followed by AL East leading Rays, Red Sox, Nationals, Cardinals before the trade deadline. You're going to have to have a very clear game plan here for the next few series, because if you go out and you get swept or you lose both series against the White Sox in the Rays, it quickly turns into and these videos will turn into what are they going to who are they going to trade? What are they going to get back? But if they go out and they win a couple of series, especially a series against the Rays, but it all starts today against the White Sox, you know, then you're in a decent spot here with only two and a half games out, only being two and a half games out of the playoffs. But comment down below your thoughts on this. Do you want to see them trade for Boba Shett? Do you want to see them just be full on sellers? Let us know. Keep you updated every step of the way. See you guys later.
