Thing is, the Jays might as well go for it now. They have a great team and they're not stockpiling picks and prospects anymore. As long as you don't gut your team you might as well do whatever you can to win it all over the next couple/few years.

Yep, I believe in this as well. Obviously the all in point is subjective on any team and any sport, but I do feel fans tend to get really cold feet about the idea of giving up a lot to be a powerhouse and really go for it.
Fans instead tend to push for slowly moving along over a bunch of years, with the hope that there will be a perfectly laid out year or two where you're a contender and you push in. It rarely happens that way. Everything could look to be pointing to a bright future with a better push in date, only to see a couple of stars falter and suddenly you're further back then than you are today.
You never know, and if the team looks to be contending now, I'm always a firm believer of "push in now without completely gutting the farm, because you don't know when we'll be in this position again".
