Brent Cardy, Analyst of all things Toronto Blue Jays visits BaseballBiz On Deck and gives us a peek into the 2023 season for Toronto & the AL East

  • What does AL East look like – 3 team race – Orioles & Red Sox not in that mix
  • Toronto Blue Jays Pitching
    • Alek Manoah, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Kevin Gausman,
    • Kikuchi – strong mix with fastball, cutter & slider
    • Ryu –what will pitching rotation look like if and when he returns.
    • Chris Bassitt ditches PitchCom & calls his own unique 8 pitches
    • Kevin Gausman generating a lot of hit and miss
    • Alek Manoah maybe fighting his mechanics. Not the most beloved pitcher across the AL East
  • Kansas City Royals pitcher, Ryan Yarbrough talked about
    "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable"
  • Blue Jays lineup – George Springer, Bo Bichette, Vlad Jr, Alejandro Kirk, Chapman, Kevin Kiermaier, Whit Merrifield
  • Kevin Kiermaier good solid player and fans love him.
  • Dalton Varsho, Gold Glove finalist is a nice addition to the Jays – Toronto Fans appreciate a player who don’t say so much & play hard.
  • Bo Bichette – Tampa Bay Native – a solid defender, a strong 2 strike hitter & a 3 year & $33 million contract.
  • Long Road Trip - Jays season began with 10 games on the road before returning to Rogers Centre where renovations are being made to the facility
  • Do shorter games mean less time to eat & imbibe alcoholic beverages.
  • A drunk Solution: Extend the number of innings when a fan can drink. More drinks within a shorter period of time = more drunks per game? Bad math.
  • Yankees legend & former Marlins Manager, Don Mattingly is the new Bench Coach for the Jays
  • Balanced Schedule – what happened with Mets & Marlins fiasco
  • Orioles – Rutschman, Urias, Bautista, Mateo, Mountcastle, Mullins & Hayes – will 2023 or 2024 be the year that Baltimore steps up
  • Boston Red Sox in the basement & suffering, Devers & Verdugo looking good. Adam Duvall amongst the injured
  • What do the Red Sox, Taylor Swift & The Tampa Bay Rays have in common?
  • Will the Jays build up their bullpen? Everything else looks great
  • Will the pitch clock impact pitcher injuries

  • Mat Germain shares his PostSeason vision with a #RaysUp attitude
  • ALDS is finally over - After Guardians fell to the NY Yankees
  • ALCS - New York Yankees & Houston Astros
  • NLCS - San Diego Padres & Philadelphia Phillies
  • Will not be watching ALCS – not interested in Astros or Yankees franchise
  • Nestor Cortes is the most likeable Yankee
  • Aaron Hicks, Josh Donaldson & Oswaldo Cabrera - need to use peripheral vision to avoid collision
  • Collisions and concussions can be Career-Enders – Justin Morneau

  • Phillies Bryce Harper is ready – “Put a Ring On It”
  • PostSeason with a Tampa Bay Rays perspective
  • Former Rays on Phillies with José Alvarado & Andrew Bellatti
  • Padres with former Rays: Blake Snell, Jake Cronenworth & Wil Myers
  • Rays “had a serious lack of grit” this postseason
  • We need that high intensity, commitment & grit that we had in the past with Kiermaier, Zunino, Brosseau,
  • Randy Arozarena & Yandy Diaz dilemma siphoned off energy from the team
  • Kevin Cash - we have to stop playing like sh*t
  • Harold Ramirez & David Peralta carried a heavy load. Would Josh Lowe have made a difference
  • Rays what’s next – Loaded with prospects, who will come up and who will go
  • Mat’s considerations for future Rays players include: Josh Bell, Jose Abreu, Trey Mancini, Josh Lowe, Daulton Varaho, Austin Slater, Adam Duvall, José Azocar
  • Shohei Ohtani would be a dream piece for the team, but highly unlikely
  • Eury Perez or Max Meyer could be a good deal for the Rays in a trade with the Marlins if the Rays traded Randy Arozarena
  • Taj Bradley & Eury Perez a future pitching combination for the Rays
  • Hunter Harvey could be a strong relief pitcher much like Nick Anderson
  • Rays need someone to bring the team together like an Adames. Mat suggests Jose Abreu as a bridge to build love between Yandy & Randy
  • Will Rays shop Randy away
  • Preparing for 2023 keep an eye on Rule 5 Draft decisions, Winter Leagues, Mason Auer in the AFL (Arizona Fall League),
  • Mat list of top Rays Prospects – keep an eye on Ronnie Simon – over 20 Home Runs & over 30 stolen bases

Turkey of the Year: Detroit Tigers - Many thought they could be a wild card threat. Went onto be one of the worst teams in baseball. They went onto fire their GM, Al Avila, after letting him run a trade deadline, which is bad enough on its own.
