On Wednesday, MLB.com Blue Jays beat reporter Keegan Matheson held an Ask Me Anything on Reddit with Blue Jays fans at r/TorontoBlueJays. This mailbag features questions and answers from there. The full AMA can be read here.Questions and responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity.Now that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is signed, what your read on Bo Bichette next contract?Broadly speaking, it still doesnt sound like there anything active happening there, and there hasnt been in a while. Even though Im a big believer that Bo is exactly the player he flashed at his peak, I understand that the last year makes it difficult to pin down a value on him in extension talks Roberto Alomar Jersey. I think this still heads to free agency, but that doesnt rule the Blue Jays out. Two things on my mind about this lately: Bo's defence looks better. I havent had a reason to write about his defence in ages, which is great news for him. I think he can avoid the is he a shortstop? conversation at this point, which will do him wonders in free agency. If he puts up an .800+ OPS and a normal season, hell have teams lining up. The Vladdy extension matters Joe Carter Jersey. Ive rarely covered a player who chooses their words more carefully and speaks with more intention than Bo. When he keeps saying that he and Vladdy want to play their entire careers together ... listen to him. May 2 is City Connect Bassitt-Ball Replica Jersey Giveaway: Get your tickets now! How likely is it we see those bigger names actually sign now that Vladdy is cemented in the lineup for a decade-plus? What skills make the most sense?Vladdy changes the perception of Toronto completely. But even with that said, it not like the Blue Jays are a bottom-rung team with a $70 million payroll. They were already coming close with legitimate pursuits of the two highest-paid players in MLB history ... and just signed the third. If youre a free agent, you notice that.This wont quite reach NBA levels, where players want to join LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Victor Wembanyama, but it going to matter. This past winter, I had to say on 500 radio appearances that free agents looking at the Blue Jays dont know what their future will be, which could have lost them some tiebreakers. Now, they know exactly how it looks ... and can guarantee that ownership will continue to spend.And yes. Power, power and power..If you had to pick one of the current Jays players to pick your Mom up at the airport, which one would it be and why?Love this question. Three answers: Alan Roden He would be there early and be very nice to her. Bowden Francis Because hed be very kind, but also because Id love to hear the story. Bichette Her favourite player.Which Jays prospect have you still not given up on despite them moving on or aging out of prospect status?Ill cheat here a bit and steal from the category of losing hype Ricky Tiedemann.I know that injuries have derailed a lot of his momentum, but he still just 22. He could go three more years without picking up a baseball and Id still believe in his talent.He such a prospect lesson, though. All of the physical talent in the world doesnt matter if youre not healthy. When Ricky showed up in camp last year, it was one of the most jarring physical jumps Ive seen. He looked like Bane. In hindsight, he may have been pushing his body further than the human body is capable of going. When I saw him in Dunedin this spring, he looked more natural and athletic and just as important, he seemed happy, free, excited.Maybe this ends up being a bullpen conversation in a year or two, where he could be dominant immediately. Ill always remember that spring start in Dunedin when he touched 99 and struck out Javier Bez Will Wagner Jersey. There have been a few live BP sessions on the backfields Ive seen, too, that blew people away. Baseball is full of prospects who could never quite wrangle their talent, but it just too tantalizing here.
