2026 Blue Jays

And 1 back now. Man, I know I keep harping on it, but Vladdy is just killing this team. .682 OPS, zero home runs at home, 8 hr 50ish RBI overall and still hitting at top of the order. Unacceptable at ANY salary, but the fact he bullied this team for one of the worst, most player-friendly contract in MLB, nay, SPORTS history is just making this so blood-boiling to me...

Could be worse. Imagine paying (an NFL record) $230m for 5-years of Deshaun Watson.

We still have a shot, so I'm just taking it game by game.

Clement definitely playing too much (particularly since he's really just a good utility INF, not a starter)

And Sean Keys, a big power LH bat sitting on the bench on a team starved for power and not even pinch hitting is another head scratcher. Unfortunately he's going to be perpetually blocked by a .680 OPS groundball hitter who has to play every day and can't hit less than third in order..
