Damn, I am pretty freaking excited right now.
This team is in a position to compete right now, starting this season, and they will probably still add a starting pitcher if they can. Maybe even another bullpen arm.
The payroll is at roughly $128 million with this signing. They have room to add still.
BUT, on top of that, they have kept the prospect base INTACT.
Pearson, Kirk, Groshans, Martin, Manoah, Woods-Richardson, Moreno, Kloffenstein, Martinez, Hiraldo etc are still coming people!
Competitive now AND a strong prospect pool. Have we ever been able to say that about a Jays team before?
