Blue Jays Spending Spree: Smart Move or Setting Up for Disappointment?

The rumors are swirling: Blue Jays linked to both Corbin Burnes AND a Teoscar Hernandez reunion. Burnes commands a hefty price tag, potentially exceeding $245 million. Is he worth it? Are the Jays overpaying for past performance or securing a true ace? Their pursuit of Soto and Ohtani suggests a win-now mentality, but is this the right approach?

Hernandez's potential return raises eyebrows. While he had a solid season with the Dodgers, is a 3-year, $22-24 million/year contract justified for a 32-year-old? Does he fit the current roster construction, and is this the best use of resources considering other needs?

What do you think? Is this aggressive pursuit of big names a recipe for success or a potential financial burden down the road? Are there other players the Jays should prioritize? Let's discuss!
