Blue Jays had a good run last season so Blue Jays fans and the Toronto media will be expecting the same thing this season. If they started slow next season, both Shapiro and the new GM will wish they didn't sign with the Blue Jays because Toronto media and the fans will eat them alive. I am hoping that won't happen though and Jays continue with their good baseball. Aside from the starting pitchers, Jays are pretty much the same team with addition of Saunders on the outfield. Missed the entire season due to injury and Stroman having to play a full season.

Ummm, the Jays signed Clemens away from the BSox then Clemens left the Jays for the Yankees two years later.
Toronto still should have at least made an offer on Price though considering the acquisition cost and Price being happy in Toronto. I'm not looking forward to another 22 years without Blue Jay playoffs.
