The Blue Jays haven't won a World Series in 30 years and are staring down a potential "abyss," according to Dave Schoenfield of ESPN.

Urshela, 33, was a February signing by the Detroit Tigers last offseason, and the team released him on Aug. 18. The Atlanta Braves signed him two days later, and his .711 OPS with them the rest of the way was nearly 100 points higher than it was with the Tigers.

A major extension for superstar first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would certainly qualify. The suggestion in the report is that an extension in the $500 million to $600 million ballpark is a "realistic" target.
