I just don't understand this wait until Bo bounces back next year.
It is not a solid risk based decision.
1. If another MLB baseball FO believes what the Jays apparently think, that Bo will bounce back, they would want him now, since they have two playoffs runs with him and the potential for him to be better 2nd half of this year. You would be getting MAX value now, not next year with 3 months left on a contract.
2. If our FO does not think Bo will bounce back, why keep him and lessen his already deflated value.
If our Team believes Bo will bounce back, I would assume other Teams would also.
Either scenario, Bo's value is the highest now, regardless, at any other timer it will be prior to reaching FA.
Trade Bo now. Bo is/was one of my favorite players on the Jays. However, the baseball business side of me, and I did it in fantasy also, says sell, sell, sell!
