Hi

Starting a new normal game as Blue Jays manager the attitude of the owner is always "Win Now" he always expects the playoffs. Also he always wants Donaldson to be signed to an extension, to be fair that is usually possible but you end up with your hands tied for the years to come.

Every year the budget is lowered , always expects to reach the playoffs and you end up with no decent starting pitchers and no way of signing them. You can't go down the route of trading for prospects because he expects to win.

Now I am a Blue Jays fan and I am sure that in reality this coming year the Jays manager can't be expected to reach the playoffs with the Red Sox and Yankees around. Shouldn't the attitude at some point, maybe year 2 or 3 change to "Rebuild" ?

Hope this all makes sense
