What makes you think guys like Tulo, Martin and Travis, who get injured every year, won't be injured again? And what's going to change with Osuna? I just see the same thing every year in all sports...well if we didn't have injuries, etc for excuses. Fact is Toronto will be even older, so they will get more injuries. They have a mediocre roster when healthy so not sure why people think they'll have a chance next season. They would get a huge haul for Donaldson. Get prospects who's timeline lines up with Guerrero and Bichette. Make a few other moves to compete in 2-3 years. Martin and Tulo are untradeable but still decent when they're in the lineup. Get some exciting prospects and still field an entertaining team in the short term but realize the team realistically isn't competing next season.

Man I wish it was actually our old guys like Morales and Bautista that got injured this year, instead of the young guys like Sanchez and Travis.

We would have been in the playoffs if the young guys had been healthy and the old guys had been injured.

always been a cobb fan. but he doesn't seem to be as dominant as he was pre-injury, and it seems like his changeup/sinker (depending on which pitch type classification you believe) is no longer the dominant pitch it used to be.

IMO, if Travis (~4.2 fWAR) and Sanchez (~3.8 fWAR) play the full year, and all else remained equal, the team would currently be sitting in one of the two wild card spots.

But as the Bruin Fan said, Ifs and Butts...mostly Butts.

I'm really curious to see what the Jays do with the outfield now that the pitching rotation is largely set.

Is Hernandez a legitimate option to start next year? Or will they be looking at veterans?

hey now don't forget to injure Bautista and Morales all year to gain us another 1-2war.

Sanchez was a disappointment but Travis injuries seem par for course with him.

Don't think he can be relied upon to be consistently in our lineup
