His point was “that’s how much extra weight you’re carrying around, hit the salad bar on your way to the ####ing treadmill.”
Like, kid, you’re staring down the barrel of a $400M contract if you produce. Do you really love food that much?
Get to walkin’.

What's the difference between $200M and $400M? You gotta live a little. In this case though, I'm sure Jays management not so subtly moving him to first publicaly is their passive way of telling him to be a professional (because with that much weight he can't play third). Why haven't any of the beat writers knocked on his weight? Honest question. While he's still very young, he's showing me he doesn't have any desire to be great. Expect a very good early career projectory, and a fall off after 6 years when it starts to take it's toll. Will he also ever hit his ceiling? Probably not. Disappointing as a fan, but all the Jays can do is bring in some mentor who he admires, to work with him on eating better.
