Blue Jays front office have made it clear they will no longer accept mediocrity. It's why they booted Berrios out of the rotation and replaced him before even moving him. They lost all confidence in Y-Rod who was great in the first half but was terrible down the strech and in the playoffs so now he will be working his way back from Buffalo regardless of what he makes.
I love this new approach. Instead of letting bad contracts rot on your roster you flex your financial muscles and kick them to the curb until they get their s*** together. Absolute power move.
