The Jays have turned into a farce over the last 3-4 seasons, and that is saying something. I have always backed them and tuned in, but last season I hardly mustered the interest to watch half a game last year let a lone a full one, and I am finding interest waning even more now given the offseason they've had yet again.

The Jays aren't alone in this insanity for what top players are getting on the open market in deferred salaries. We can all agree that they should have done anything possible to sign Vlad but seeing whats happening there is a point that Atkins was told it's too much. I do blame Atkins for waiting until the final hour as his value on the trade market has diminished and for that reason he needs to go. Rough time to be a Jays fan and many dark days ahead
