Well they are both playing like s*** right now. But let's be optimistic and say they get off to better starts with the Jays. Maybe they really are the difference and we win 2 of those games and are 4-8 instead of 2-10. That's not worth investing 150 million or so at all.
The team has core structural issues. Old team and not a great farm system. Think about the farm AA left Shapiro. Shapiro hasn't had one prospect, not a single one, to work with. He might get something out of Pompey or Tellez next year but those guys ceilings are average major leaguers. This team is a mess.
