A Legacy of Disgruntlement

The Eric Lauer era is over. Long live 2025 Eric Lauer! But, unfortunately for the Blue Jays, the 2026 version of Lauer—the version that could barely crack 91 on his fastball—was clearly not going to a the rotation's saviour for a second season in a row, resulting in him being designated for assignment earlier in the week.Was his exit hastened by his weirdly public disgruntledness with his role? Is it fair to thrust Spencer Miles into the fifth spot in the Jays' rotation? Could Chad Dallas get a look? How close is Jake Bloss? Will Addison Barger really just need 10 days on the injured list? What on earth is up with Vladdy lately? And can Daulton Varsho's walk-off grand slam against the Rays maybe, finally be the turning point for this stuggling club?This week we search for the answers to these questions, and a whole lot more.
