Obviously the Jays hitting hasn't been good enough this season, at all, and would need to improve immediately for them to have any chance this year. But just pointing out a little context, hitting stats are actually at a 10-year low around the league. Pitching has been dominant so far this year.

Jays are actually 18/30 in team OPS (.690). Ahead of Mets, Mariners, Cardinals, Cubs, Rays.
14/30 in OBP at .312.
29/30 in BABIP (the "luck" stat) at .270.

yeah, they suck and should can everyone.
 
i guess what i should've done instead is written a "think piece" ruminating about how this shirt design reflects poorly on the hegemony of corporate culture and its domineering influence over the pursuit of art and graphic design, and how much this one sucks because it was designed "by 500 people" and obviously isn't a random fake designed by one person

Swanson sent to AAA.

RP really are unpredictable. Swanson was one of the best in baseball two years ago, very good last year, and now totally unplayable.
 
I still think trading Teoscar was the right move, but whenever these guys have had the chance to move a pending FA, they’ve really bungled it.
 
I'm gonna go with "nah" on that one. Teo likely doesn't have that down season if he's in Toronto last year (his home/away splits were ugly, he just didn't hit well in Seattle at all, but normal Teo on the road) and this year just looks like a normal post breakout Teo year

Everything is just back to normal Toronto Teo after one year not hitting in Seattle.

The reason to trade him is that paying him seemed like a bad idea. In retrospect, I don't think that's the case. Especially considering what this front office turned around and used the money on.
 
Fwiw, here were his home/away splits last year

Looks like normal Teo away from Seattle and he just hates hitting at that ballpark.
 
Trading Teo with one year left was probably the right move IMO. Sucks that Swanson is struggling this year, but we also got Macko in that deal, top 10 prospect lefty pitching well this year in AA (11.45 K/9, 3.17/3.60 FIP/xFIP)
