This is because Shapiro has always had a two birds in the bush is better than a bird in the hand philosophy.
With Shapiro at the helm, that 2016 Indians Team never kicks our ass with Miller in the pen.
Say all you want about how good the 2021 team was but it didn’t even make the expanded wild card. Again, the Jays with Shapiro at the helm were being too conservative and they didn’t boost their **** pen enough and early enough (familiar theme) and it cost them.
Like L54 said, banners fly forever. I don’t give a hoot what AA left us (which wasn’t that bad) I am still vibing off the 2015 season to this day. Nothing has even come close! As a fan, I want that high again and that is what I want from my FO.
