It's impossible with the fan base, with the stadium, with the broadcast network, all being owned by the club.
They can't afford to say, well, stay with us.
In three years, we're going to be good again.
They've got to be good next year.
And that's the challenge, and that's what fans should be looking for, not a fast finish to the 26th season.
Right.
Well, Hayes, here's the sleight of hand involved in Major League Baseball.
If the Blue Jays send George Springer somewhere else, he's owed $6.7 million for the rest of the year.
They could have that team pick up the entire contract, but there's a loophole in that if the Jays send $6.7 million as part of the trade package,
then the contract is off their hands, they wash their hands, and that is taken off of their luxury tax threshold.
So, I mean, they still aren't gonna get a lot of good prospects,
like they did in 2014, or sorry, 2024.
But look to the Yankees.
And I hate to say look to the Yankees because I hate the Yankees.
But in 2016, they made room at midseason.
They were hovering around .500.
They made room at midseason and filled the spots with Gary Sanchez behind the plate.
Aaron Judge in right field and they released Nick Swisher who is their most popular player they released Alex Rodriguez mid-season who was their highest paid player and they did all those things mid-season and they had a better record going down the stretch now that's a possibility for the Blue Jays because it's a low bar that they've set
But if you look at that, better a record down the stretch, see who they got on the farm, especially on the pitching side, and rebuild during the offseason and spend as much money as they spent this year and spend it judiciously.
And don't worry about the sentimentality of bringing back guys who were a part of the trip to the World Series.
