Should have got rid of Bautista when you had the chance, used that money on pitching. Now Donaldson is showing injury issues, might not even play 120 games this year.

Will be sad when the Expos are back in 2-3 years and in World Series contention while the Jays are drawing 10k.

The pitching FA class was weak so it what it is. The two years were fun and great for baseball, but unfortunately the run may be over. Also what team is going to Montreal? Why are you making stuff up?

With that said, just saw that most of the Jays' top prospects have a ETA of 2018. So with that in mind, Toronto could make a run in 2020 or 2021. Trade all the vets(Donaldson; Bautista, Pillar, Estrada) to the highest bidders; lock up the young pitchers to below market deals, and then gear up for a possible run 3-4 years from now.

There was no reason to take Bautista back. But let's hope they can fix it for their fans, because Montreal has the ownership and stadium plan ready. When the Expos come back (and its when at this point, Return of the Expos? Montreal investors ready for baseball) they will have the momentum. The jays better be ready, because they could lose the casual fans fast to a World Series bound montreal team.

Rumors the team going to Montreal might be the Rays.

And they raised tickets this year

Can't wait by June can take my girl and pay 25 each right behind the bullpen like a few years ago :blessed:

Jays are lucky, with both the Leafs and the Raps in the playoffs no one will notice how mediocre they are, until may-june.

Bandwagon will empty itself by july-august when its apparent this team will be in the basement.

Fans won't go or watch Rogers revenue will shrunk

Donaldson is injury prone and past30

Russell martin is a fossil along with Jose

Troy is trash and is Dante bichettee status without Coors Field

Devon Travis got one good leg

Kevin pillar is putrid minus defense

Blow it up

Only thing remotely interesting about this team right now is some of the young players they have at AA/AAA

Rowdy Tellez,Anthony Alford,Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Bichette's kid...

I remember visiting Jays games back in 2015 and the low 500(I think low) level seats were like $15 on stubhub

Can't wait to look at those prices now :shaq:
