Clayton Richard doesn’t need to be good he just needs to start 30 or so games and pitch 150+ innings and do it for really cheap. Which he is going to do. This is the rebuild. The Jays are going to be bad this year, probably around a 65 - 70 win territory.
I agree with those saying the Jays should have traded their top guys earlier and miscalculated their competive window. Seeing those potential deals for Donaldson hurts and that is on Shapiro and Atkins for botching that.
If Sanchez and Stroman can put together some good seasons then deal them at the trade deadline and net a decent return. I could see some top 100 prospects coming back the other way with those guys seeing as they have a year of control left.
