What does Atkins and Co do in general that makes any sense?

The Vlad ordeal is just another embarrassing example

1. Don't sign him long term as kid before arb years kick in and buy up some UFA years
2. Don't sign him after down year when you may get some discount for his long term security
3. Don't sign him last year when hes hot to give him a bit of extra security
4. Don't sign him (presumably) this offseason to help attract UFA's/ be the face of the franchise - Because why would he sign now.
5. Don't trade him with 1 year left to get more assets when the team looks like a non compete team. Run him to UFA for a comp pick (I guess if they are out of it trade at the deadline)

Why would Vlad now sign this close to UFA with the Jays.

Nothing this management team does makes any sense. They have the strategic vision and execution of a government agency.
