He speaks the truth.... AA got Rasmus for nothing. I mean even if the guy is a bust, its not like the JAYS gave up much.

though, I would have liked him to include Eric Thames in the Jays future. I think he is the real deal..... hope Jays can manage to keep him with so many outfielders and only 3 spots

maybe Snider/Thames can platoon in left..... one night one plays DH, while the other plays LF. Then they switch. Maybe depending on the match up.

its not like Toronto has any better DH available than these guys......

I don't understand why Thames wouldn't just DH when Snider is the better defender.
