Not trading Vlad this week/end could have a ripple effect that could hamstring the organization for a half a decade or longer.
You have an aging and expensive roster that’s deprived of talent. Virtually nothing in the pipeline. Easily a bottom 5 farm system in Baseball. Nothing is even on the horizon if you factor injuries.
Vlad is the asset that can net you multiple top tier prospects if you trade him now. A team will give up more to have his bat for year and half and 2 full playoff runs. Opposed to just one Season where he’s a pending free agent.
Going to free agency with him would just be a disaster and if you lose him for a comp pick. That’s an organizations destroying move. Sadly thats exactly what I think is going to happen.
Watching this team is like watching a car crash in slow motion and you have no power to impact anything. It’s very difficult to be a fan. I love the Blue Jays. Can’t stand how they operate.
God were so f***ed
