Missing out on Ohtani, Soto, Burnes, Alonso and Sasaki. Failing to extend Vlad Jr. Is this becoming a thing? Taking the temp of those in TO.

I'm not certain the Jays are ready for the daily drama they're about to experience ...

The past weekend's headlines surrounding Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gave a peak of what's ahead for the Blue Jays this season.
