Otto Lopez's All-Star rise with the Marlins stings a little bit for Blue Jays fans
The Toronto Blue Jays' lineup has been lacking all season long. As a whole, the team ranks 25th in wRC+ (92), and 27th in runs (366). That offensive downturn is

I said it the day it happened. It will look bad sooner rather than later.So who thinks Vladdy was worth all that money?
Every spend-happy MLB team thought he was worth the money. Had the Jays not paid him, these other teams would have. Tail offs from a successful season or two are fairly common in sports these days, especially if players just experienced a deep playoff or tourney run. Just look a soccer, au courant at the moment. Specifically, Liverpool and Mo Salah: a win-almost-everything 24-25 season to the doldrums for both team and its dominant player in 25-26. Now, coach gone, many players gone, and Salah likely headed to MLS, soccer exile.
Philip, I agree with you about Hoffman. Then again my team, the sad, sad, sad-sack Mets, signed Devin Williams for whatever reason. Once he could do it, now he can't. It seems to me the story of baseball is two-fold: pitchers, both starters and relievers, are fragile and very few can be consistently good, which is not even great, over say, a 10-year period, like their brethren back in the day. For chrissakes, every team had high-inning guys who lasted years. Jim Maloney of the Reds, Ernie Broglio of the Cards and many other teams. Bulldogs not toy poodles. I know you follow the Dodgers and know the team's history. Who's today's Drysdale or Perranowski? Point is, a good pitcher today, is a not so good pitcher tomorrow, and every team has been through the drama of having them in spades. Not a Jays thing only. It's an MLB-wide infection.
What's also startling is that so many pitchers fail in an era of poor hitting. F*** analytics analysts who posit that hitting .300-plus is not good enough anymore. Batting .237 much better, eh? Guess Ted Williams and Stan the Man would have no place in present day baseball. I know, most argue that the game has changed. Point is, you still gotta get on base and then find a way home with the help of your teammates batting after you. Hit a homer? OK? Follow that with 3 Ks? Excusable., say the moderns. Hard to watch.
I hope the Jays become sellers and get some young talent
It will not be a lot as Gausman is the only cherry but to be buyers and sell young talent when all you can hope for is bottom WC when this team is not working out
No homers, bad at RISP, bad defense this team is not a contender
Blame injuries if you want. Santander and Barger were two key offensive players injured, Vlad and Springer having very bad years. That is 70% or our offence gone, it is obvious why we are so mediocre

With a 46-53 record after 99 games, the Blue Jays would need to win at a .619 clip for the rest of the season to reach 84 wins, which might be enough to get one of the last two Wild Card spots. A .619 winning percentage for a full 162 game season is 100 wins.
Tear it down. I would trade the obvious candidates: Gausman, Varsho, Rogers, Scherzer Springer. I would consider trading Sanchez and maybe Giminez, although he has a big ticket attached. Outside of the box, I would see what the market for Kirk looks like (Yankees?). For something really outrageous, how about Vladdy to the Mets for Bo?
What you're not happy with 6 HR and 41 RBI through 94 games played? Hey look at the bright side, Vladdy should set new career high in SB.So who thinks Vladdy was worth all that money?
56 pitches, 40 strikes.
