Yeah, they opened the wallet this year, and the Jays had a top 10 payroll. Hopefully that can continue.Not sure the amount of money spent is really the issue. Plenty of teams spending less than the Jays having success.

so i guess the argument is that making the playoffs in a 162-game season has nothing to do with management or payroll, and is only due to the players. Whereas losing a 1 or 2 game playoff series has nothing to do with the players, and is only the fault of management/payroll.2020 - Zero playoff wins

Hey man I’ve given them ample time to get this right. They have not. Time to move on.so i guess the argument is that making the playoffs in a 162-game season has nothing to do with management or payroll, and is only due to the players.

Gotcha.
That's fair, never said they're amazing or should have a lifetime contract. I don't even have a problem replacing Atkins. It just gets old reading the same old hate posts acting like they're totally incompetent, when that simply isn't the case. They built a pretty good team - but at the same time, not good enough. But it is up to the players to perform in short samples.Hey man I’ve given them ample time to get this right. They have not. Time to move on.

Yeah, that's what you want. If it leads you to a championship, whatever hardship later will be worth it.The Rangers lost 102 games in 2021.
I’ll admit it seemed like a bad idea to me when they gave all that money to Semien and then Seager right after that. But that was probably more about the franchise than the players.
Semien and Seager combined for 14.3 WAR this year and won them a WS. The contracts will probably age badly, but it’s already worth it.
