I figured the Jays would regress some from the last couple of seasons, but I didn't expect a 2-10 start. I know the Jays aren't THAT bad (no team is that bad), but it's extremely difficult to overcome a 2-10 start. With the injuries to their already very thin rotation and the recent news that Donaldson is out for 2-4 weeks, things aren't looking good in Toronto. While I know it's a very long season and the Jays could very well figure things out, I'm interested to see what they do in June/July if they aren't in the playoff race. The Jays have some big pieces that could get them back a haul of prospects (Donaldson is of course the main piece) if they do decide to sell. Additionally, with several of those key pieces hitting FA in the next couple of years and the fact that Toronto is currently the oldest team in the majors, you've got to start considering blowing things up and starting fresh. If I'm running things in Toronto and don't see a realistic path to the playoffs come July, I'm 100% trading away guys like Donaldson, Estrada, Happ, Tulo, Bautista, etc. and starting a rebuild. If they start this process early enough, the rebuild wouldn't take too long.
What do you guys think? I know Mat is a big Jays fan and follows them closely - would love to get your thoughts Mat.

For sure. Both already making big contributions. Tulo made a great play last night to save some runs and Donaldson already making a difference with the bat
