Personally I would be looking to keep Vlad long term. He’s young and can still be a part of a future. Jays are in rough shape for a while but I also don’t
think your going to get a talent near Vlad in a trade so I would keep him and pay him. Bo I would wait and deal in the offseason unless someone pays up but I wouldn’t be in a rush as I doubt his value is that high.
Jays should be listening on everyone else though and I agree that I’d be aggressive in moving Gausman too. I don’t see this turning around for the Jays in the next year or two so don’t see value in keeping pitchers that are over 30. Get some prospects and retool.
Of course none of this matters if Atkins remains the GM or they stick with the same team building philosophy moving forward.
