Feel good. it is brutal that some teams are trying to make a profit off of the TV revenue without really trying to be competitive/only running things on a shoestring budget.
Yeah, I don't see a lot of missing pieces. Maybe a plus 3B? Trevor Story might be still in play.
I think Atkins has addressed the bullpen pretty well...and we have a top 5 starting rotation in baseball, and our offense is really, really good.
If this is it, all he really does is guarantee us a slightly worse draft pick. Although Hand has been s***** since the sticky stuff crackdown. Maybe we get a better draft pick - dunno.
I have never really thought about Kevin Smith too much, but he is having a tremendous MiLB year.
He is also rule 5 eligible.
Is he a trade candidate? Or does he have a chance to make the roster?
His FV is 40...meh.

A 2nd round draft pick that will not make an MLB roster for 4-6 years doesn't really fit in this org's window. I mean, they are nice to have, but for those guys I think you'd want players a lot closer. I think both Ray and Semien could garner some almost ready for prime time prospects.
It will piss everyone off, but yeah. Sell these guys for some controllable talent. The Jays don't have a lot of payroll commitment next year. They can trade and sign FAs for 2022. And I will bet the Jays will still make September interesting.
