If I am a free agent starter, there is a no way I would sign in Toronto. Between the quick pulls and having to play in the band boxes in the AL East I would have zero interest in playing for the Jays. Management really isn't doing themselves any favours.
I really don't get the Grichuk love, with this team. He is a solid center fielder and has a power bat, but he shouldn't be hitting above 5th in the lineup. He doesn't get on base and strikes out way too much.
Frustrating loss, but most of the decisions didn't result in the loss today.

I've been wondering about this based on some of the decision making this year. He may have been given the Manager position under the caveat of listening when the phone rings.
