So far it looks like the Jays won on the Josh Donaldson trade.

Donaldson starts the season off injured, while Julian Merryweather's arm is a rocket launcher, hit 100 mph on his fastball. good lord.

No surprised. Everyone knew that Donaldson was made of glass. The whole 2015 Roster was injury prone. Look at Tulo, Pompey among others.
 
As far as the AL East goes, the Jays remain in the thick of things after 19 games. Third place and slightly ahead of the Yankees for now. Which isn't too bad for a youngish team still finding its way.

Keeping expectations grounded as things will probably change later on but they have shown some progress compared to previous seasons.

In terms of pitchers, Steven Matz has been a pleasant surprise so far going 4-0 to begin the season which is much needed.

As much as I strongly condemn abusing women, Roberto Alomar is still a Hall of Famer and his plaque will not be removed. After all, there are plenty of Hall of Famers who had sexually assaulted women, such as Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins.
 
Then remove his too. Men have been using their power to sexually assault, exploit and control women for far too long. Their successes gained while doing so should not be celebrated.
 
Nobody has released them yet. Just that there was an investigation, and this was the result. I do appreciate that they investigated before firing him.

Yep! I worked in some of Toronto's top high-end hotel bars/restaurants over the years. I was working during the A-Rod scandal, when he was photographed with a hooker at the Four Seasons in Toronto. Trust me, It's really not that unusual to see pro athletes , show up to the bar with escorts or hit on women at the bar

I kicked out a retired Blue Jay who was in town for some Jays alumni event, I kicked him out for his drunken comments towards the female staff and customers at the bar. Lets just say he played third base during the 93 season. I don't care about your world series ring. Get out of our bar!
 
There were sports figures who lived in my condo. Hookers heading up to the penthouse we’re common, as well as groupies trying to get past security. Not for everyone, one in particular was the quietest guy. I always wanted to let his wife know that 🤣
 
Jays extending their stay in Buffalo until at least July 21. They haven't ruled out the possibilities of returning to playing in Toronto this season but depends on how the boarder measures are later on.
