Every new pitcher signing brings a fresh round of leaks on how the BlueJays were in on the guy, but the fact remains nothing they’ve done has been compelling enough to land the player, writes ShiDavidi.

SAN DIEGO – Let’s not do this until the conclusion that feels inevitable arrives in mid-January, and themake some underwhelming mid-to-lower tier starter signings and pat themselves on the back for staying disciplined and true to their valuations.

One frustrated agent lamented how the Blue Jays “are 90 per cent due diligence that doesn’t go anywhere.” In one regard, that’s a credit to general manager Ross Atkins and the crew, as a little mystery can make for a good strategy. But on the other hand, forthrightness certainly works as an approach, too.

BlueJays ShiDavidi Perception and reality is are lost on these two idiots. The league laughs at them and agents string them along. Both are incompetent to do the job.

BlueJays ShiDavidi Fire Atkins before he ruins this season for the fans again.

BlueJays ShiDavidi 🧐🧐🧐 basically no way they were in on wheeler cause of the second rounder that might play in 5-6 years if the jays are lucky

BlueJays ShiDavidi It isn't that difficult. We all know you need to do more to bring FA's to Canada. So strike first, and now ! Before teams waiting on Cole have a chance to reset, offer more money and more term. What is SO hard about that? Keuchel-19M-3 yrs, Ryu-24M 4 yrs, Baum-22M 4 yrs.

BlueJays ShiDavidi Like I said before, the front office of the Blue Jays are brain dead.

BlueJays ShiDavidi The Jays are aggressive. The problem is they're aggressive dumpster divers. If there's a free agent with a batting average under the Mendoza line? Or a pitcher with an ERA over 5? It's a good bet they'll go after him hard.

BlueJays ShiDavidi Inside the war room...

BlueJays ShiDavidi I think the pressing issue should be the one-man starting rotation.

BlueJays ShiDavidi 'One frustrated agent lamented how the Blue Jays “are 90 per cent due diligence that doesn’t go anywhere.” This sounds a lot like venture capital!

BlueJays ShiDavidi Blue Jays management and free agent pitchers:

BlueJays ShiDavidi Another 90+ loss season coming

BlueJays ShiDavidi After seeing the likes of Edwin, Josh, Jose, Marcus etc get shown the door, why would any big name want to sign with our current management.

BlueJays ShiDavidi Lousy gms overpaid and made it harder for the Jays to compete

BlueJays ShiDavidi This guy knows how to overpay for players. Get him on board!

BlueJays ShiDavidi No big name FA is signing in Toronto no matter the offer.
