I continue to hate this narrative. This FO was extremely risk averse in Cleveland where they had no money to spend and has been risk adverse in Toronto because our competitive window was closing. Can't we just agree those were smart decisions and may not necessarily represent their ONLY modus operandi?
I mean it may very well be - but I'd like to think they are versatile enough to change their approach when the situation presents itself. If they sit on their hands and sign a couple of Jaime Garcia types this offseason - then I'll join you in criticizing them, but these guys are smart dudes and I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
