I know the Blue Jays are in a very early stage of their rebuilding process right now, but I can’t help but feel like the tenure of Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro could be judged on a few of the decisions they’re making this season.
One of the biggest choices they’re faced with is whether or not to trade their best starting pitcher in Marcus Stroman. The 28-year-old will be a free agent after the 2020 season, so the Blue Jays won’t have him under contract control when they’re ready to compete again unless they’re willing to sign him to an extension.
