Uhh no? The starters have done their bit from the beginning. Ryu, Ray, and Matz were great from the get go. There were questions about what the 4th of 5th guy would bring. But that's like any team.
If you want the Jays to stay the course that's cool. But its obvious they need to make a few changes in the pen. Getting healthy would be great, but still a lot of unknowns in those arms. Why not give up some late prospect capital(which the Jays have an absolute ton of) to try and win some games with an MVP season from Vladdy, Semien killing it, and Ray owning those tight pants. Minnesota should be ripe for the picking soon with how poor they've been for example.
