00:00Here is Ray Jays general manager Ross Atkins. Now everybody in Toronto from

00:05what I've seen today they can't stand this guy. Here he is talking about not

00:10getting a deal done with Vlade.

00:13Ross, how is this front office kind of feeling? What are your thoughts right now knowing that you guys could not come up with a deal?

00:19Yeah, obviously very disappointed. We worked very hard. The motivation is still there.

00:25Confident that every thought, idea we had, every dollar that we had was

00:32communicated. But we're obviously disappointed to not have gotten that

00:36done. Doesn't change our desire. We will certainly be motivated and remain

00:42motivated.

00:43Yeah, I don't believe him. Let me just say this. We've already discussed this with

00:48the guys who gave. They have more money than God himself. And they went short side on Vlade.

00:55So here's what I would do if I were Guerrero. I would not accept any offer that they make

01:00me at all. I would play the entire season and hit home runs. Not listen to anyone. Not

01:09listen to the manager or the GM or the fans or the media and just absolutely leave and

01:17go play for the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, which will be his right. And that'll be the

01:21end of it. And they will rue the day that they were 100 million short. Meanwhile, these

01:27morons offered the world to every single free agent, judge, Ohtani, every player, every

01:36single player that was available that mattered in Major League Baseball, the Jays made an

01:40offer to over the last few years. And they didn't sign one of them. The best they could

01:44do was Anthony Santander. Let's just face facts. These guys are morons and they have

01:51screwed up the Toronto Blue Jays. And what they deserve is they deserve Bichette, Vlade

01:58and Bizzio, all of them to just leave, just leave and go play where you want. Vlade can

02:04play one season. That's like butter. And then go play for the Red Sox. I hate the Red Sox.

02:09But if I were him, that's exactly what I would do. I would screw them the exact same

02:14way they are effing him right now. They asked him and they said we gave him every single

02:18dollar that we had. They are so full of shack. It's not even funny. That guy, he might as

02:24well have liar coming out in bold, red, bloody letters out of his mouth when he talks.

02:30He also said this morning that Atkins that and Shapiro said this as well, because I believe

02:35he talked after him, that they're not going to trade him. That would be stupid, too. He

02:40has already made it very clear that he's going to leave. OK, you have a player who would

02:47you would get something back for whether that's now or in May, June, July at the trade deadline.

02:54I don't care where Toronto is. And you know what, if they're in first place to let it

02:57ride it out, whatever, they won't be. They won't be. They need to get something of value

03:05because he's going to leave. He is not going back to Toronto.

03:08Let me tell you something. The Red Sox and the Orioles and the Yankees are obviously

03:13the Yankees went to the World Series. They're all better than the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays

03:17are in last place. It's look, that's a very competitive division.

03:23Red Sox are better. We know the Rays are always a problem. You know, the Orioles have great

03:28young hitting. I don't think their pitching is that great, but they got great young hitting

03:31and it's not out of the question that that's where they could end up when it all is said

03:37and done in this division.
