The Toronto Blue Jays failed to land a Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki .
Earlier in the day , the Jays had “landed” Myles Straw from the Cleveland Guardians a 30-year-old minor league outfielder whose career has been spiralling in the wrong direction for two years .
The Jays had to pick up more than US$11 million in salary from the Guardians .
And Straw has what the Jays front office values more than anything: Solid defensive metrics. Yes, a punchline. A confluence of so much over the past three seasons has the Jays on the brink of being the laughing stock of not just their own market but of the sport. The staggering cost of taking a swing and a miss on Sasaki stings much deeper than missing out on free agents such as Ohtani and Juan Soto . And as a result, barring a miraculous turnaround in the three weeks and change until spring training begins, how does the Jays front office recover from this latest debacle?.
