Refuse to break budget when you are almost at a World Series Level and then refuse to rebuild when its clearly obvious your window has closed. Just frustrating as a fan. MLSE buying this franchise can’t come quick enough. May not spend as much as Rogers but at least they will have a real baseball strategy and follow it without deviation.

They have a strategic direction - and it's quite simple - be profitable and make money. Sadly winning a World Series may or may not fit that strategic direction, and blowing it up and tanking doesn't help that in the short term.
As a fan it sucks since you want your team to be a winner but sadly when a team is owned by a publicly traded company and not just a billionaire with deep pockets that is what happens.
They have a board of directors to answer to and being profitable is a big part of that.
Also you do know that MLSE is 37.5% owned by Rogers and 37.5% owned by Bell...so if MLSE buys it not much might change much from a day to day operations perspective outside of Rogers & Bell consolidating all the Toronto sports franchises under one branch.
