they really need to look at our system because they are destroying arms. They need to overhaul the training department in our lower levels.

For every reason imaginable.
Top/only MLB ready 2 prospects got fried last year.
Team was horrible with a record payroll.
Agents floating feedback that the team is a joke.
Pitching staff overpaid and aging.
Top 2 players walking to free agency.
No internal help for the big league roster.
I could go on….
The pitching injuries has gotta get fixed somehow. It’s gotta be an anomaly of bad luck. But it’s gotta get looked at - so many pitchers in one calendar year.
Brock already missed most of 24 already, then was great in the AFL.
One of the few relief prospects who have legit late inning profiles. Drag for him and the org.

I think the Jays chances are actually being slept on here, and have been the whole time. The Jays are industry leaders on the splitter, and this is one of Sasaki's primary weapons. The splitter's rep for harming pitchers has made teams (for the most part) avoid it for a long time.
But the Jays can work with him better than any other team regarding how to better harness his splitter, make adjustments to the pitch, and throw it safely. Plus one of the things we know about what Sasaki is looking for in his team, is pitching development.
Having said all that, I still think he's going to sign with the Padres, but I also think reports are going to come out after that it was the Jays who were the runner-up, not the Dodgers.
