Remember when AA left and everyone was acting like we let some generational genius get away and would never win again. This team has gotten farther than any AA-led team already. Best season in 30+ years and we've done it not with a team stacked full of talent, but a solid core and team ball strategy. Easily the one most fun season I've had in a long while.
Jays have done this with 270M payroll and by being one of the worst teams at developing talent mainly acquiring from FA. Remember when Rogers had 'payroll parameters' under AA and wouldn't let him spend while they were contending or he had to withhold spending in the offseason because Rogers wouldn't open up their wallets during the season?
They have done away with that and really spent on the team to cover up prospect development. Jays got to this point (ALCS) in 2015 and 2016. And AA already won the WS and has been in the playoffs every single year except this one. Really bad take on this one.
