We don't have OF defense in spades and Varsho starts the year injured after surgery.

Again, obviously it wasn't a good deal, but people constantly flipping out over it and calling it "terrible" is a massive over reaction to things they've made up in their heads after they missed out of Sasaki because he chose to go to the Dodgers.

The deal has clearly not held them back from continuing to sign players and attempt to sign even more.

All I can say is it may have. Think about it though - the Jays have a budget to stick to. If they're wasting money on a role player, that's less money to spend on someone else potentially. That money could be used to go above and beyond for a more useful player like Bregman, or today Kenley Jansen signed for $10M. I'm just saying this could be the difference between getting a legit player or not. The Jays don't have an unlimited budget.
