2K24: Toronto Blue Jays

[TranaGreg]

Rowdy Tellez is expected to be placed on the IL after an MRI revealed a right knee strain.

and he's done for the season

The Blue Jays purchased the contract of C Alejandro Kirk from their alternate training site. He's never played above A ball. But, he has more walks than strikeouts in his two minor league seasons. So, there's that.

He's been on the taxi squad for a week and is projected to be their starting catcher. Cup of covfefe!

Blue Jays place OF Teoscar Hernandez on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain.

Teoscar Hernandez hit off a tee and did some running on Saturday. Maybe he will play again this year after all.

And the Blue Jays activated OF Teoscar Hernandez on Wednesday (did not play) after he spent just the minimum 10-days on the IL.

Teo tonight 0-5 with 4 k's. I hope they didn't rush him back too quickly.

I guess he was just working off the rust since he went 3-6 with a solo home run tonight. Yeah, he's back!

Ken Giles announced via Instagram that he will require Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. See you in 2022.

There is talk of a new stadium in Toronto either on the same site as the Rogers Centre or another lakefront site. Construction would take 5-8 years. I'm not sure where they would play for 5-8 years if they use the current site.

so what does the lineup look like now? something like ...

CF Springer
2B Biggio
DH/LF Brantley
SS Bichette
3B Guerrero
RF Hernandez
LF/DH Gurriel
1B Tellez
C Kirk/Jansen

Grichuk on the bench or getting traded

[Big Tymer]

Mighty fine work this offseason. Grichuk outperformed LY so agree he "should" be the odd man out from that group but they do very much need SP so some trade is most likely I'd think.

Gurriel can play a lot of positions so Tellez should get a short leash as I'm still not sure he's a starter on a playoff contender. Could easily see Vlad sliding back to 1B at some point.

Let me try that again ... my guess (tho 4 thru 7 could be ordered based on simply whoever is hot ... )

CF Springer
DH Biggio
SS Bichette
3B Guerrero
RF Hernandez
2B Semien
LF Gurriel
1B Tellez
C Kirk/Jansen

you think they will turn Springer Biggio loose on the paths? Makes more sense to let all the boppers drive them in

Springer, no; he is older. Biggio, who knows?

Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said Friday that OF Lourdes Gurriel will receive reps at first base and third base this spring.
