Janssen got that viral infection/flu, and then just dropped off the map pretty quick.
I assume confidence is a big part of that position, and he came back not 100%, didn't have his stuff...blew a bunch of saves in the first couple weeks (after rarely blowing saves the previous year or so), and that was that.
Critical of the Jays lack of moves at the deadline, after they had climbed back into it leading up to the all star game didn't help, though the entire team went in the crapper when the Jays/Rogers backtracked on their preseason promise to the team to pick up players for the run if they were close.

But Janssen isnt Bautista and can't say those things with the same conviction. I'm sure he'll be back in a big way for Washington.

As for the Beeston things, seems like the latest Rogers sibling as the same misguided empire building stigma that his dad did with the Jays and the communication business, and has screwed things up behind the scenes. He can do that within his own company and get away with it, but its a little more public when dealing with MLB teams and trying to poach their staff clumsily.

He also needs to open up the wallet a bit more, because this team, like last year, is a decent sports car that's been tweaked and tuned up ready to race to the finish line with a good chance of winning. But its got a couple balding tires that, left alone, will at some point cause the car to hit a guardrail at the worst time like it did last year, when a proper set of tires from the start, and the additional full pit stop to add some new tires and change the oil halfway through the race, can get that car to the finish line first.
