I hate this "not a baseball city" crap. We were literally the best attendance in the AL and everywhere you walk in Toronto people are wearing Jays stuff / talking about the team. EVERYWHERE YOU GO! They were extremely popular here, can't really get much better than that.
And there's no way people say "Toronto can't afford X". Rogers is extremely rich and can very well afford to increase the payroll. They just dont want to. It's not CANT, it's WONT.
As for this trade Pillar or any of our starters, what nonsense is this? Pillar was injured for the second half of the year and people want him gone? He's a key part of this team! Also we have the best rotation with the lowest ERA. It's foolish to suggest none of the five will be back starting. /rant
