Re Pontes’s chat, what puzzles me is that, according to him, the Jays have shifted resources away from the International market.
Practically every problem the Jays have can be traced to a less than stellar draft/development record, including signings on the International side.
I would have thought resources would be increased, not decreased. Did the construction of those “state of the art” facilities, a capital project, mandate a reduction in operating expenses?
Long gone are the days when the International market was a strength.
