Because Gibbons is not a good manager. Its always been like that, it will always be like that.
He wasn't good then and he isn't good now.
Many many mental errors
I think that if the money for Burly is used in another way, thats fine, but having him is a guarantee of having a 4th starter number with 200 IP, and no chance of injury.
Players decline when they lose natural abilities
He doesn't have any. He is not even an athlete.
He can literally pitch like this for another 10 years like Moyer
I seriously doubt any other sports city in the world has seen such terrible times as Toronto has
To be not only bad but be bad at soamy different sports. Lol even the Bills as soon as they associated with Toronto they became terrible
Such is life I suppose
Can't see Bautista or Encarnacion signing long term extensions not with the money out there these days
More likely AA will try to figure out how he can trade them at the right time
If AA can send Dickey and Thole back to NL along with Burly and free up 30 mil now we are talking
Take that 30 mil sign Lester and have a rotation if Lester-Stroman-Sanchez-Happ-Hutch
W ith Dickey Thole will be a catcher leaving only one spot for Navarro who is under contract
Safe to say catching will stay put as is. Maybe get Kratz back if released from KC
