I think it's generally accepted now that the Blue Jays front office intends to 'retool' for 2025, as opposed to doing a full on investing-in-the-future (ie prospects) approach - one that could potentially still involve signing Vladdy long-term. This, to me, sounds like a bad idea. My thinking, in turn, was inspired by listening to Blake Murphy and Jonah Birenbaum on Blue Jays Talk today. It seems like this season and last we've realized that the front office didn't get enough hitting. It seems like they're probably on track to repeat that next year, as they've got a lot of work to do to make the team competitive next year. Vladdy and Bo's contracts are up next year too. 'Retool for 2025' seems shortsighted to me. I hope next year isn't like this year (in terms of realizing you're a selloff team mid-season) but worse :/
