You absolutely should be in on Soto. Just don't get tunnel vision on him like they did with Shohei last year.
IMO this team is so far away from competing for a championship, big game hunting, kinda feels like using duct tape on the Titanic and being surprised when it still sinks.
23rd in runs scored, 18th in hits, 26th in HR, 23rd in RBI's, 27th in SB, 19th in BA, 22nd in ERA, 13th worse in hits allowed, 9th worse in runs allowed, 2nd worse in HR allowed, 12th worse in walks allowed, 24th in SO opponents, 20th in WHIP, 12th worse BA against.
The team across the board is horrible, we are a month away (Dec 5th) from the 9th year anniversary of Atkins hiring and this is what he has built. After Rogers recent share purchase of MLSE and their purchase of Shaw, they dont have a hell of a lot of liquid capital to be free spenders. This is why I don't think we will be big spenders in the FA market.
Jays had the 7th highest payroll and we are bottom third to bottom quarter in the league in terms of standard stasticial measurements, without significant changes top to bottom, IMO Soto would just be lipstick on a pig.
