Can only assume they're just doing this guy a favour and he'll be in AAA because he's not a better player than Vlad/Turner/Vogelbach at this point and those guys will be taking all the 1B/DH ABs.

If Vogelbach was having a bad spring I would've understood it more but he's swung a good bat. I guess its no harm but this is more a favor to Votto I doubt he has anything left in the tank.
The Blue Jays offered Matt Chapman a two-year contract before he signed with the Giants, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Given how long Chapman lingered on the market, it isn’t surprising that the Jays made a late bid to gauge his interest in a return to Toronto, even if Chapman’s “first choice” as per Heyman was reuniting with his old manager Bob Melvin in San Francisco. It can probably be assumed that the Blue Jays’ offer contained a player opt-out after the 2024 season , given how Chapman’s eventual three-year deal with the Giants has opt-outs after each of the first two years, plus both sides have a mutual option for the 2027 season. Re-installing Chapman at third base would’ve solidified the Jays’ infield situation, even if it would’ve made for a crowded mix of players fighting for regular work at second base and in backup roles. Had Chapman re-signed, Justin Turner would’ve been limited to first base and DH at-bats, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, and Santiago Espinal all would’ve been vying to be the right-handed hitting side of a second base platoon with Cavan Biggio.

Can't have wanted him that badly considering the contract he ended up signing with San Francisco. Would have been easy to beat that.

And despite that known fact, not one coach, fellow player or anyone with two brain cells to rub together has advised him to wear hand protection? I guess missing half the season every single year is worth it to him and the blue jays so he can "feel comfortable" at the plate. I dunno man. This is getting old.
