Have you? As soon as people do you get folks saying omg it's not as bad or we shouldn't be pessimistic yada yada yada

And you get the EXACT same thing in the opposite direction.

I think there’s a fatigue factor here. We’re all frustrated with how the last couple of seasons have gone, and how slow this offseason has started for the Jays. Nobody in their right mind are thrilled with the performance of this front office, but as fans we remain hopeful of a positive move to make the team more competitive and entertaining. Post after post of saying f the front office of fire shatkins does what? It’s just bitching.

I can’t speak for everyone, I just know I want to hear about the possibilities and discuss the options. Reading how angry and frustrated others are doesn’t help (me at least).

But hey, it’s a free world, if venting helps you, so be it. Personally I’m just a little tired of the negativity.

Can’t help but have Deja Vu from last season.

Jays miss out on the big fish (Soto/Ohtani), rumoured to sign the secondary guy (Santander/Pederson), end up with Plan D (Turner/Turner).

Certainly starting to feel that way. The only solace we have is said secondary guys haven't moved anywhere and there's been very little chatter to give us an idea of where they might go.

IF you signed Burnes, could you offload Bassit for relief pitchers or would it be better suited to go after a corner OF bat?

Pretty sure every free agent uses the Jays for leverage. There waiting for the Jays to overpay in dollars and years.

I’m not liking where it’s headed. Houston in on Santa now after trading Tucker, Burnes from the West Coast, etc.

Part of the problem this year, is Vladdy and Bo aren’t signed and they don’t have much of a farm system. If you sign with them a rebuild is a possibility after this season.

I mean... yeah, no shit. I never said negativity wasn't justified. But it's reached the point where if you say anything positive about anything, there's an avalanche of angry posts about how shitty management is. Anger has entirely replaced rational discussion.
