JP Morosi was on the radio this afternoon ripping the Jays. Not that his opinion matters more than most but there certainly is a sentiment being shared around the league about how disappointing this team, and in particular, Vlad, has been.
I think in fandom there is a mutual respect when watching great talent, and unless it's your direct rival, you want them to succeed. And when they don't it's kind of sad.
I give it until the end of the month and if the Jays don't make a big push that changes will happen. Chapman, KK, and Merrifield are all great trade chips. There will probably be interest in Kikuchi and likely some of the arms out of the pen. Load up on a few picks and prospects and try again in the offseason. Likely with Atkins not at the helm too.
