Part 2/7:

The fan expressed deep disappointment over the recent developments surrounding Roki Sasaki, a highly-touted young pitcher, and the missed opportunity for the Jays to secure his talents. This pivotal moment was perceived not just as a loss of a player but as a blow to the team’s future competitiveness. The enthusiasm for Sasaki was palpable; he represented a glimmer of hope in an increasingly bleak outlook for the Jays.

The decision to trade Myles Straw, using international signing money as a maneuver to free up room for Sasaki, came with the underlying assumption that securing him would be a transformative move for the franchise. Instead, the fan felt that the offseason was spiraling downward, likening the situation to a plane in free fall without a solid plan in place.
