Panic trade that likely doesn't matter, it was about cash and a bat. Worked for a bit.

Yeah Loperfido sucks too and Sanchez being ass doesn't change that. We won't miss either one of them.

Jesus Sanchez every time he drops a ball or fails in the clutch 

Someone wipe that grin off his face.  Josh Donaldson would definitely have punched him in the face by now.

It goes without saying that Jays need to win at least 2/3 here

Both to keep pace with the Guardians and also to prevent these Ori-A-Holes from thinking they can get back in it

In the AL there is no such thing as must win this year.  Any team is capable of shittin the bed.  Someone is going to back into the playoffs.

Kinda wild that a team that values defense so highly decided to give up multiple years of Loperfido for Sanchez. 

I know the stats at the time didn’t show Sanchez as a bad defender, but you watch the guy and its clear. These things don’t happen overnight. You can see the dude has no instincts out there. Its like, early Jo Adell bad. Derek Fisher bad. Edwin at 3B bad.

And hold on for so long too? This front office confuses me at times.

The Loperfido part doesn't really matter, he is no good and not worth a 40 man spot anyway. Can't hit. 

But they needed to cut bait on Jesus earlier...

It kind of did happen overnight. He was an okay fielder and above average baserunner up until this year.

But his athleticism quickly fell off a cliff and he no longer has a well rounded set of tools. His sprint speed is down, his arm strength is down, his bat speed is down, etc. He's still only 28 but he's huge for a baseball player and he somehow hit a wall in his late 20s which can happen.

I think being around Vlad daily ruined him.  It feels like they're brothers at times.

Getting Trey back would be huge. Even if he's only a 3-4 inning bulk pitcher.
