Sounds like Atkins really did his due diligence.

Blue Jays Acquire Whit Merrifield
ValiantJaysFan replied to John_Havok's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Let's hope so. He has to get vaccinated first. Not sure the rules but that means first shot, then what, 2 weeks minimum, then another shot, then 2 weeks before he can even get into Canada? -
I hope you're right.

This is true but the same can be said every year. At some point you have to go for it.

Blue Jays Acquire Whit Merrifield

Merrifield 3 years ago, this is great. Merrifield today...this is bad. -
Toronto Blue Jays v. Tampa Bay Injured Rays; GM 1
ValiantJaysFan replied to Solaxys's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Something is really off with Bo this year. Hope he gets hot for the stretch. -
Bass is a nice add assuming he can actually carry that success into the AL East. Pop could end up being a nice add as well for middle innings. But the issue is more we needed a set up/closer calibre pitcher, maybe even 2...and we instead got Bass who is probably overmatched in that role. Bottom line, we did not at all keep pace with the likes of the Yankees or Mariners today.

At best you've watched as long as I have. Regardless, calling me a fairweather fan is hilarious.
-
That's great, do you know what a fairweather fan is?
-
I've been watching the Jays for longer than you have. I can say that with a high degree of certainty. So spare me the condescension.
-
No one is kicking and screaming. This was an objectively bad deadline for the Jays, in a year we're supposed to be competing. The Yankees and Mariners blew past us today. You can try to convince yourself otherwise but today was a big, massive L for Atkins.

Ok bud. Let's see how this season ends. Can't wait to see Merrifield solve our problems.
-
Don't know why you're hung up on White. He may end up being good for us. Not good enough, but whatever. Give it a month and let me know how much you like Merrifield.
-
Well the Yankees sure found a way to get everything we needed and more for prices we could absolutely afford so...I guess we don't wanna be serious while our window is open.
-
He's currently at -0.2 WAR. If this is considered a good acquisition I guess our bar is pretty low.
-
Thor isn't who I wanted but he's better than White. Perez or Rodon are who I wanted. I'm not particularly upset about White but Merrifield serves us almost zero purpose.

Merrifield

Instead we got a guy who already is a negative asset. At least Thor and Iglesias filled needs, albeit they aren't who I would've wanted. Perez or Rodon would've been perfect. Merrifield brings very little to the table any more. No, I'm not 11.
-
Moreno, Jansen still Blue Jays. An embarrassment of riches at Catcher, an embarrassment of a bullpen. No starter added to this struggling rotation unless you count White. Rodon, Perez just sitting there for the taking. Nope. We'll shop on Wish instead. Hope this costs Atkins his job.
-
Merrifield is having an absolutely awful year. Will also need to get vaccinated. This is a huge "wtf?" trade. I guess he makes Zimmer the odd man out. Addition by substraction? I dunno. Head scratcher. Meanwhile Iglesias and Thor both go for about what we just paid for Merrifield. Atkins about to take a walk through the streets butt naked while an old nun clangs the Shame bell.

Atkins has officially s*** the bed.
-
Jays get Merrifield. Phillies get Thor.

Still 11 minutes left but as of right now, Atkins has completely s*** the bed.
