I love how in spite of the fact that Toronto is a small baseball market, and in spite of the fact that they are in the toughest division in baseball, they usually manage to put out competitive teams given the resources at their disposal.
They aren't ever great (not since '93). But if they were in the NL, they would be playoff bound almost every year. For a number of years they had the best pitching staff in baseball. This year, they lose Doc, they're shedding longterm salary, but they still manage to put out an entertaining product (for someone who enjoys baseball of course). It is fun to watch developing young talent.
In spite of some boneheaded moves by Ricciardi, the Blue Jays remains the best-run sports franchise in Toronto. Probably because it is not run by MLSE.
They likely won't ever win the Championship this way, (especially not with the Red Sox and Yankees in their division). But in MLB, that requires spending ridiculous amounts of money that the Blue Jays just don't have.
