At the deadline lots of players are available for cheaper then right now .
If the different between Jays being a contender and out of playoffs is a 4 WAR OF vs 2-3 WAR KK we have other issues
The teams fortunes hinge on the Starting pitching health and hitting bounce backs . We can plug the corner lack of power hole later if we’re a contender

Personally I think the Jays are an bubble team, very similar to the Flames
If stuff goes right, they are a wild card (i.e. good pitching, and key players have bounce back seasons, they stay healthy etc)
As for the management, they dropped the ball. (last couple of years)
