I’m beyond frustrated right now. I understand the idea of a rebuild. But 2 years removed from the playoffs with 2 can’t miss prospects in Guerrero and Bichette. Not to mention two quality starters in their mid twenties with team control. And the ownership and Shatkins refuse to field a team to help these kids out. It’s just going to instill a losing mentality and a lack of faith in the organization.

Yeah its frustrating right now but a losing team doesn't mean they will instill a losing culture. The Astros lost 100+ games 3 seasons in a row and then a 90+ loss season before becoming the powerhouse they are now.
The Braves just recently had 4 straight 90+ loss seasons and are now built up again.
The Jays have pretty much a concensus top 5 farm system, just like those two teams had while they were getting run over. I think we just have to be patient and wait for the cream to rise to the top and then watch Jays management use the remaining prospects as trade bait to fill out the holes in the roster. (Probably outfielders and a high end starter or two).
