can we just rebuild already?(or at least retool?) teams a flop as it is, trade all the older guys
and, MOST IMPORTANTLY.....
CHANGE THE DAMN TEAM CULTURE TO ACTUALLY PLAY SMALL BALL AND NOT JUST GO FOR HOMERS ALL THE DAMN TIME.

Well, first off, I'm pretty sure analytics actually side with the Jays on that last point, so doubtful that they change that approach. I agree that it's frustrating how it seems like they are unwilling to change the approach when they should, though. If you get a leadoff double in a tie game late, it's basically unacceptable to not try to move the runner over as the first priority as far as I'm concerned. And I don't care who's coming to the plate.
It's not easy to rebuild the Jays, though, given their current construction. They don't have many vets with value who could be traded for big returns. And the ones that do, they have control over for a while. But, on the flip side, it's possible they don't need to be rebuilt, given they have Bo Bichette and Vladi Guerrero Jr. almost ready to break through. The factors that have really hurt the Jays this year are Bautista being done as a power hitter, Donaldson forgetting how to be Donaldson for a large portion of the season, Sanchez not existing and Estrada forgetting how to be Estrada.
