Lets start with a story that some of us will find familiar… It’s cold, mid-December now and Jays Fan puts the kettle on the stove to boil. Jays Fan walks away, perhaps into the other room to continue a Netflix binge or browse Jays Journal. Ten minutes pass, and Jays Fan wonders why they haven’t heard the kettle begin to whistle yet. When they walk back into the kitchen they find the back burner glowing orange-red. Then they see the kettle, sitting on the front burner.
This is the story of the recent Blue Jays offseason. Unless you’re a close family member of Cory Luebke‘s, it’s been a long, cold December.
