Seems to be a big undertaking where now they're having preliminary talks. Could be a renovation (my guess), or a complete new stadium in Ontario place (not likely IMO as the transit would be an issue). Anyway, onto baseball.

I agree with most of this.
I do think the rest of the season will dictate how hard the Jays management goes after big ticket pitching.
The offense looks legit. Many of these young players have come out like gangbusters or improved greatly with adjustments. If they keep that up for the next month and a half I doubt Shapiro, Atkins or Rogers will want to waste a season of the Vlad and Bo era on a rotation in shambles.
I could see them gunning for a front end starter and using prospect capital to secure amother in a trade.
