Mike Wilner: Wait until next year? The Blue Jays might be saying that next week

The fact Bo and Vlad are under control for another season beyond this one is a horrible justification for keeping them and trying again next year. This team is not a contender as currently built, and it will take more than one or two offseason acquisitions to fix it. If Vlad will sign at a reasonable market rate, that might be a discussion worth having, but the plan should be tearing this team apart, getting quality near-MLB ready players, and hopefully open a competitive window in 2-3 years.
I feel that as an organization we are collectively balls deep in a sunk cost fallacy mindset.
So much talk for so long about generational talent coming up and being the core of this organization. That’s clearly not the case and we need to wipe the slate clean and start looking at things much more honestly and objectively.
Feel like everyday we get one day closer to losing Bo and Vlad to free agency at the end of next year and we get nothing in return. Pretty sure even at this point teams are thinking why sell the farm now when I can entice them in free agency.
I wish anyone in my life loved me the way Atkins loves years of control

Wilner finally making sense.
