    Not when you consider the long-term damage to the farm system from those horrendous trades.
  2. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    That's not what I'm complaining about. I'm complaining about the inconsistency of gutting the farm system for washed-up expensive talent but then getting cold feet when a free agent wants more than 5 years. The way this team operates is completely backwards and makes no sense.
  3. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    That would be an even worse answer for two reasons - one being that Toronto actually is a big market, and the other being that the natural follow-up question to that would be, "so why did you spend upwards of $125 million last year on a last-place team?"
  4. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    I'm actually going to defend The Two Stooges here... they have to spew that BS in order to avoid running afoul of the MLB.
  5. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    No, the hypocrisy of refusing to sign any free agent for 5 or more years but being willing to gut our entire farm system for overpaid "talent" instead is what should get AA fired. As much as I don't like the idea of overpaying Tanaka, at least if he were to bust, we'd only lose money, not our farm system like with the disastrous Marlins and Mets trades. The 5-year limit is just an excuse and allows AA to pretend like he's fiscally responsible, when in reality, we're already overpaying for mediocrity because of his bad asset management.

    As much as I dislike the idea of spending so much on an unproven player like Tanaka, this should be a fireable offense for AA. Somehow he allows us to lose out on talent with this rigid "no 5+ year contracts" rule but sees no problem with gutting the farm system to take on bad contracts instead.

    Newsflash: it's not 1993 anymore. We're going on 21 years of no playoffs. We have an expensive last-place team, a gutted farm system, an incompetent front office, and a franchise that has become irrelevant. What big-name free agent in their right mind would ever want to play for the current Blue Jays? If we ever want to get another Winfield, Molitor, Clemens, etc., we need to rebuild from the ground up. Bring in competent baseball guys, patiently build through the farm, and put forth the effort needed to repair our reputation and make our franchise an attractive destination again. No more panic trades, no more overpaying for mediocrity, no more bad asset management. Right now, we are the Knicks of baseball when we need to be the Spurs.

    What's really depressing is that our front office refuses to adjust to this reality and patiently build through the farm. 21 years of no playoffs now and already a lock for last place in the division.... this s*** is a joke!
  9. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    We're f***ed.... thanks, AA!
  10. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Sadly, my first thought would be that AA would screw it up somehow.
  11. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    He got the delusional idea that we could compete in a window of the Red Sox and Yankees being "down," even though those teams can always buy their way out of trouble, and he seems to have forgotten about the Rays (a real franchise with competent management). On top of that, he missed the playoffs AGAIN during this imaginary window while the Sox won it all! AA = massive failure!
  12. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Seriously. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really on board with all these foreign free agents getting huge contracts before proving anything at the MLB level, but this whole cheaping-out schtick from AA this offseason is a joke considering how much he shelled out for last year's mediocrity. If you're not going to spend, at least do the smart thing and rebuild from the ground up, because this current roster is trash. If I didn't know any better, I'd think AA stood for Atrocious AssetManagement.
  13. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Is anyone else just really bored of this Tanaka saga now? I wish he'd just hurry up and choose which team gets to overpay him before he's proven anything.
  14. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    I didn't mind letting him go because it just wasn't working here, but AA's asset management has indeed been atrocious.
  15. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    This is a joke.... retire already, Bud!
  16. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Bottom 4 alongside Amaro, Dayton Moore, and Zduriencik.
  17. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Nice... it's about time Boras got told to f*** off.
  18. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    AA is beyond incompetent. I'm just counting down the days 'til the Expos come back, because this franchise is an absolute trainwreck with no signs of slowing down.
  19. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Translation: "I'm about to f*** this franchise over even more with some of the worst contracts in baseball."
  20. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Have you not paid attention to his recent track record? I don't trust him with any trades anymore after how he got bent over by the Marlins and Mets.
  21. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    Someone please fire this moron GM before he trades half our team away to the freaking Rays!
  22. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    I don't like the Yankees, but I don't really hate them anymore. I'll always loathe the f***ing Red Sox and their delusional fans, though.
  23. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    I don't care how he plays elsewhere, getting rid of him was the right move because there was zero indication of him ever being anything more than an arrogant, delusional bust in Toronto.
  24. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    LOL, AA and Beeston are such a joke. An owner that gave a damn would have fired both these clowns by now.
  25. FireAlexAnthopoulos
    What excitement? Other than the fluke win streak, this was a very boring, bad, and unlikeable team. There was nothing exciting about our players flashing the "Lo Viste" sign while down a million runs or JPA mouthing off to the press. TV ratings actually dropped from the previous year. Attendance went from bad to mediocre. When it dawns on the casual fans that this team is going nowhere anytime soon, attendance will plummet back down to the basement again.
