While the Bat Flip will remain vivid, many other aspects of those BlueJays teams are getting distant, TaoofStieb writes.
Losing Pillar isn’t quite the same as saying goodbye to a faltering José Bautista, or seeing Edwin Encarnacion leave through free agency, or having Josh Donaldson awkwardly hobble out of town after being absent for most of last season. But it’s a reminder that the good times are all gone, and we’re bound for moving on.
Still, one can’t blame the fans if they are uneasy at what the future holds. The turnover from those teams is almost complete, and yet, there’s very little that feels settled about the roster for the next contending Blue Jays team. The shiniest bright lights of the future are not yet in the big leagues, and while the machinations of controlling Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
As a fan, if you are going to put in the energy to do that work, there is an expectation that team management is holding up their end of the bargain. That, in changing over the roster, they have the team’s future success at the centre of their considerations, and that they take their responsibility for this seriously.
