Blue Jays have signed him --- maybe the angels are more interested in Arenado or even Gorman now?

Great point. If we project Gorman as our third baseman going forward, why can’t someone else.

Madison Gorman, Nolan’s wife, sure hopes her husband is projected as a starting 3rd baseman somewhere.

Interesting.
Looks like Bo maybe moving on. Boston should get one
of Bregman or Bo.
Possibly make a team step forward with a
Marte offer. Philly, Reds.
Will Dominos finally start to fall?

Bichette with Toronto and Bregman with Boston is still the most likely outcome.

True. For some reason though even though the blue jays are on par with the dodgers as far as outspending everyone else I still find them easier to root for than the dodgers

They already have that in Mootbaar.

And his performance (more correctly, the lack thereof) is a reminder that employing players purely for marketing purposes is counterproductive to winning.
Sadly, a lesson Super Slo Mo never learned.

lol, good one.

Well, they are in the non rebuild, reset / whatever ....dump all salaries and get a few prospects and let others say you will spend in 2027 , as if no one else will be spending
