Let the Trades Begin

And I don't think one half season of subpar baseball really necessarily changes the eyes or the mind of the front office, whether it should or it shouldn't.

So I think you're right.

But I think the fact that the Blue Jays just proved that they could go out and beat a good team and Tria Savage looks like what kind of what we thought Tria Savage should look like.

Dylan Cease is pitching the way that he's pitching.

We can maybe ignore the Shane Bieber start just for the sake of my point.

I'm trying to make him playing devil's advocate here.

But the offense actually started to click a little bit in two of these three games.

No, I don't think they should buy.

But I think it's not about what you and I think they should do.

It's about what they want to do.

And this team wants to go win the World Series.

And I don't think that this team, as currently constructed, is capable of that.

But maybe you add a couple pieces, add some stuff to make this offense look a little bit better.

maybe you can be in a conversation to get in the playoffs and with the starting rotation and the bullpen that the blue Jays have, how could they, how could you convince me that they would not be favored in at least two of three starting pitching matchups in a wild card series.

And they would probably be out bullpenning the other team with Louie Varland at the back end, Tyler Rogers, who has been one of the best relievers in baseball, Jeff Hoffman, who very quietly, I know he's so hated, but has been quietly very, very, very good.

Like, I just don't know how you can convince this front office that this team is is not good

yeah you can see a blueprint right the main thing about that is the guys have to start hitting we are literally the worst offense in baseball and that is the drawback but think about oh and how the blue jays have won a lot of their games recently now it's not so much in this series here but uh the game they won i believe in boston was a three two game or game one of the series was a three two game there was a game in boston which was also very low scoring dylan c shut him down for nine innings in that one right like These are the recipe the Blue Jays do.

They pitch really well.

They play good enough defense and then they can score enough runs.

And that's kind of the recipe the Blue Jays are going to use here to try to win their ball games.

And I think if they can get just enough offense and they can find a way to sneak into the playoffs, as hard as that may be, there is a recipe here that the Blue Jays could potentially go on a run.

Now, I don't know if I believe it or if I buy it, but that is the blueprint for how it would look if it were to happen.

Yeah, so obviously I'm playing devil's advocate here.

I think I've been on the selling train kind of early, I think is like what I would say.

I think I was one of the first people kind of saying maybe this team is going to be sellers at the deadline.
