The Toronto Blue Jays have had an extremely rough off-season and MLB insider Buster Olney made sure to point out just how bad of a job Ross Atkins has done this off-season.
The Blue Jays have not signed a player in almost 20 days and are still linked to a ton of free agents but have yet to get a single deal done which continues to look like they cannot seem to get players to want to come to Toronto.

Olney was recently on First Up in which he spoke on how much of a disaster the Blue Jays off-season has been so far and he does not see it being any better.

Olney stated that the Blue Jays have had the worst off-season in the MLB so far and pointed out how Atkins cannot get free agents or even his own players to take their money as Guerrero is still not extended.
«It's been a total disaster»
@Buster_ESPN
joined #FirstUp this morning and explained why the Blue Jays' offseason has been a disaster, the gap between the team and Vladdy in their negotiations and why the Jays may be close to becoming sellers.
While the Blue Jays are set to apparently make Guerrero a second offer that seems to be closer to the number he is looking for, that does not mean he will take it as it does look like it will still be under his target.
Olney believes that if the Blue Jays end up unable to get anything done this off-season they should start a sell off and begin to rebuild as trying to hold on by signing mediocre players will not change anything.
It is hard not to believe that Atkins has not run this team in the ground as since taking over almost a decade ago, he has made too many mistakes to count and the team has paid the price for it.
Hopefully by some miracle they are able to extend Guerrero but for the time being it still does not look good.
