Agreed, 21 years since a playoff berth. You simply can not tear everything apart and expect fans to be ok with that. Especially when the team currently sits 1.5 games out of a playoff spot, with a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way and a number of important pieces about to return to the lineup.
We also can not put any belief in the idea of pursuing free agents. Toronto simply is not a destination for any number of reasons, including:
- playing in Canada
- playing on the awful Rogers Centre turf
- again: 21 year playoff drought
I'm sure the list isn't even exhaustive. Tough to get pitchers because they don't want to play in the AL east if given a choice.
