Edwin Encarnacion and the Toronto Blue Jays are no more, and it’s everyone’s fault.
It’s the Blue Jays, fault — from ownership right through the front office.
It’s Paul Kinzer’s fault, certainly, for misjudging the market then becoming so visibly and vocally involved in pushing and guiding the narrative.
It’s the whole market’s fault, actually, and leave some blame left over for the owners and MLBPA reps who signed off on the qualifying offer system that caused draft pick compensation to cloud Encarnacion’s market.
It’s Andrew Miller’s fault and Francisco Lindor’s for carrying Cleveland through the playoffs, which brought an unexpected financial influx to that organization.
