So just food for thought. The Rangers won the WS after losing Degrom, they lost Jung their starting 3b a big chunk of the season. When they lost A. Garcia, one of their best hitters and a great defender, they had org depth to put Carter in there and not lose a beat on offense and D. They also lost their starting catcher to injuries and Heim was more than adequate and destroyed the Jays. Their bench guys like Grossman came through. When it came deadline time they had the assets to obtain Max S and Montgomery. Max S went down and either pitched like s*** or got hurt in the WS. Yet, after all
that, the Rangers system still looks good and they won the WS.
The Blue Jays regardless of other issues were not in a position to lose the equivalent players and obtain two SPs and still have a bright future. Those are some measurable differences.
