Some big news to go over today is the Toronto Blue Jays have made even more moves and following the Jays finalizing the roster yesterday afternoon, we are now just a day away from opening day and they've made even more moves specifically revealing some critical information surrounding some of the injuries that they are dealing with. We're going to break down exactly what these moves are and discuss what they actually mean going forward for this team. But not only that, we have a ton of other updates, including some more injury stuff and also some interesting notes ahead of tomorrow's game that you're going to want to tune in For folks, happy, I guess, opening day eve for the Jays. The Yankees, of course, won yesterday. In pretty dominant fashion, the Jays get to start tomorrow. A ton of other teams are starting today, so hopefully you're all enjoying that. Before we get into it, a very quick reminder to hit the subscribe button if you're excited for the Daily Jays content all regular season long. And the daily content all throughout the offseason, of course, going to keep happening in the regular season. Now, let's dive into some of the moves. Now, of course, yesterday I broke down the opening day roster. The moves were made. David Schneider made the team. Leo Jimenez, DFA. Spencer Miles made the team. Chase Lee didn't. but we had a bunch of moves after that that are actually pretty important here because it gives us some light into what the actual injuries are for some of these guys so let's start Jose Barrios was placed on the 15-day il with it being retroactive to march 22nd so it's really like an 11-day il Chasey Bieber same thing jimmy Garcia same thing, Trey Savage same thing, Anthony Santander on the 10-day IL, which I'll dive into in a minute and then Chase being optioned to Buffalo, Angel Bastardo DFA, Leo Jimenez DFA now a couple pieces of information here that are pretty useful, so people see Santander being on the 10-day IL and are thinking wait is he going to come back soon he's obviously a pretty crucial part of this team hopefully if healthy no he is not for those wondering Toronto can still transfer and they will Anthony Santander to the 60-day IL whenever they need to open a 40-man roster spot so don't be fooled by the 10-day IL placement here so it's not about Anthony Santander returning sooner but it is of course just kind of an administrative thing but it is good news here no one is placed on the super long IL not to say that it can't happen but this kind of gives you guys a full you know full insight of a what the injuries are and how this team can turn things around quickly so Jose Barrios he says he's feeling good I suspect he'll be pretty good after this IL stint and the real guy to look at here is Shane Bieber and Jimmy Garcia because those are two guys retroactive to the 22nd of March which means a couple weeks basically from from opening day tomorrow we presume they'll be ready and it's good to know that it's not hasn't gotten any worse for Jimmy Garcia and Shane Bieber they're both ramping up pretty quickly and same with Trey Savage who of course is undergoing a right shoulder impingement all three of those guys pretty short term IL of course the 15 day which is standard you're not gonna be 60 day but no one has gotten moved to the 60 day as of this point there hasn't been any negative updates which we would have heard yesterday so that's some pretty good news overall and it also gives you some insight on exactly what the injuries were also Chase Leavitt option in AAA Buffalo he'll be a pretty unique option there and of course Santander on the 10 day IL but i want to dive into a couple different things now but let me down below what your thoughts are on this and in case you missed it yesterday they also uh you know Davis Schneider made the team and then Spencer Miles rounding it out so the opening day roster is fully figured out now they're looking pretty good and you look at the squad in general it still says Leo Jimenez their FanGraphs and updated he's no longer going to be there Josh Kasovich is going to be the next man up but folks let's dive into some positives ahead of ahead of tomorrow's game it's crazy the Jays play tomorrow i'm probably gonna have a prediction video for you guys tomorrow morning a pretty lengthy one so stay tuned for that plus i've been now Josh Goldberg came out and tweeted i think Jeff Hoffman Tyler Rogers Louis Verlin could be one of the best bullpen trios in the league we're looking forward to seeing how Rogers and Verlin are deployed this year and the reason i bring this up is because again you look at the moves you're missing Jimmy Garcia one of your best bullpen arms you add Jimmy Garcia who clearly now is going to be ready somewhat soon to this and you're looking at an extremely extremely solid bullpen now i've been record multiple times this offseason saying they need to add one more arm i'm probably still you know there maybe they go ahead and make a trade for JoJo Romero of the Cardinals or something like that but it seems like for now they're going into tomorrow's game with what the lineup is bearing a shocking unforeseen trade on day two technically of the MLB season starting really day uh you know day one and a half i don't know if it's a weird schedule this year to start the year but it is notable and you look at some other tweets that are coming out you look at the opening day rotation and the bullpen of how it looks it's locked in now so you have Hoffman, Rodgers, Verland, Brennan Little, Braden Fisher, Mason Fleury, Tommy Nance, Spencer Miles so basically the same bullpen as last year and you uh you add Spencer Miles and you can take out Sir Anthony Dominguez it's pretty darn good could it be better absolutely and the opening day rotation you have Gossman, Cease, Lauer, Ponscherzer in that order pretty good could it be better absolutely and it will get better with injuries right you have Jose Barrios, Shane Bieber and of course I mean Trey Savage you're at a point now where all of a sudden this team could look vastly different in let's say a couple weeks so 15 days so two weeks and a day from March 22nd so whenever that was Sunday or Monday you're at a point now where it is a very very unique situation and I want to continue to dive into a couple other things so you can see here obviously the rest of the infield is sort of through let's look at the infielders folks you have Ernie Clement, Andres Jimenez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Kazuma Okamoto folks you four infielders now obviously david schneider is an infielder slash outfielder that's why people were lobbying that they might go with leo jimenez because you didn't have really like you're versatile and it's one of the most versatile infields in baseball kind of like vladdy in theory you can play third kazuma okamoto in theory you can play third and first Ernie Clement can play short he's gonna start the season at second base Andres Jimenez is gonna be playing short he can play basically anywhere you put him right but you don't have that much versatility in the infield and that's where things get a little bit scary now looking through the outfielders you're in a very good spot and the Jesus Sanchez acquisition can't be understated but it is um it's gonna be some exciting stuff here and there were some predictions that Kiki Matheson made I want you guys to leave your predictions down below we'll have it tomorrow he says that Dylan Cease finished the top three for AL Cy Young John Schneider sets new career high for ejections in a single season his current high is only four which seems insanely low by the way i am hitting the hammering the over on that all day every day i think he's going to get five six ejections and Kazuma Okamoto becomes your favorite player but all that to be said you look at the moves that they made you look at all the you know the injuries let's say hypothetically anthony Santander somehow returns right and he can be a shade of his 2024 self right when he was an insane for the Orioles it's uh you're in a very very good spot because you also then these aren't super long injuries i know i've talked about on the channel like at the end of the day here they do have some injuries to start the season most teams do luckily they're doable right this team can be so much better and that's kind of the point of this video and leave down below your fun projections because this season is going to be an exciting one and whether you want to see the jays buy into a different they're not gonna the jays are the jays right they're gonna play the way they play they're not gonna strike out a lot despite the additions of guys like Jesus Sanchez to strike out a little bit more. They're in an extremely, extremely good spot. You bring David Schneider back. You also have a bobble day for a bobblehead day, rather, for him as a kid, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with his father, of course, the infamous pitcher. Vibes are at an all-time, eh, not all-time. Vibes are pretty close to being at an all-time high for a start of a regular season. The Jays are ready to do it, man. And we saw yesterday, the Yankees, they absolutely curb-stomped the San Francisco Giants. And you can't underestimate how good this division is, whether that be in the form of the Yankees, who kind of just ran it back. The Orioles got significantly better. The Red Sox got better. The Rays, you can never count them out. The Jays are in a good spot. But ahead of tomorrow, I just want to encourage everybody to take a breath, enjoy every single moment, and also enjoy some moments from JoJo Parker, our recent first-round pick, who's absolutely dominant. I just want to plant this seed now, and say, let's all meet back here in a year. But for now, I really can't overstate the amount of buzz around JoJo Parker and the Blue Jays organization. we're gonna be keeping you up to date with him all off season long next year and of course all regular season long this year he's not gonna make the team never say never but he's probably not gonna make the team right he's not but um even though he's not gonna make the team you can still follow him and we'll keep you up to date every step of the way folks this team is in great shape the moves they made are encouraging both on the official roster side and point of view but also the injuries not being severe and baseball is not even right around the corner it's here and i'm ready to roll Thank you.
