Former Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi believes the team should use the July 30 trade deadline as an opportunity for a complete roster tear down, he said on TSN1050's First Up on Friday morning.
currently sit at 46-56, good for last place in the American League East division and 9.5 games back of the final AL wild card spot.
“They’re in a tough situation,” Ricciardi said on TSN1050’s First Up Friday morning. “Personally, I think they should blow the whole thing up and start from ground zero, and just try to rebuild. “I love Carlos Delgado, best hitter I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t build a team around him because we had no money. So if you’re going to put all this money into Guerrero, what’s left to build around a team?
“I give them credit, they’ve taken a shot at it,” said Ricciardi. “They’ve gone out and spent money, so from that standpoint, I tip my hat to them. But you also have to look at, you’ve had Bichette and Guerrero now, surrounded by all of these guys that you’ve added, and you haven’t really gotten that far.
