So far, I have not read anything positive from Media on their offseason
Jays should have made a trade, at the end of last season they stated, lack of offense was the issue.
This was not addressed, if anything its worse.
Jays have to see big seasons from Vladdy, Bo, George and Varsho

I didn’t say the Jays had a good offseason. I’m saying there wasn’t a lot of these mythical corner OF power bats available .
Pitching depth in FAs was strong this offseason - something the Jays didn’t need
The best UFA hitters all had major flaws and ended up signing effectively 1 year deals
I would have preferred an upgrade on KK and KK being the 4th OF . I just didn’t see a lot out there without massively overpaying . And overpaying can put the team in a bad financial postition to sign vlad and /or Bo
Our minor league system is also very weak , so unless you wanted Tieds traded you aren’t getting anything of real value in the trade market .
