Only guys looking for long term deals on teams that are nowhere near a bubble playoff team for at least two seasons, are guys with injury issues.
Sounds like Aitkins and Shapiro using the media arm of the company to blow the hot air to try and stop the season ticket holder exodus in this brief baseball talk window they have for the winter meetings. Can’t blame them for trying.
They need to catch fire with some vet free agents and journeyman, and hope that it gets them close enough to get the fans talking about then Jays past the all star break in order to get some fan and player interest for 2021.

This is how I feel as well. The Jays PR department is desperately trying to motivate a demoralized fanbase by spinning some sort of fantastical stories about the Jays pursuing all these high end pitchers but we all know how it will end.
Now the Jays are "interested in" Hyun-Jin Ryu!
