Chris Bassitt just dropped a massive truth bomb about the World Series loss and it proves this team is wired for future greatness.
Hearing a respected veteran speak with such raw honesty is exactly what this hungry fan base needs right now.
We all remember the absolute agony of Game 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers last November.
Losing 5-4 in eleven painful innings is a permanent scar that will never fully fade away.
Chris Bassitt (Drafted Round 16, 2011 by Chicago White Sox) refuses to hide behind soft excuses or moral victories.
The veteran right-hander recently went viral for bluntly stating that coming up short simply means they failed.
Watching him speak so passionately about a magical 94-68 season ending in defeat gives you absolute chills.
"We failed. A lot of people will say, 'You didn't really fail. There wasn't really a loser in that World Series.' No, we lost. We failed"
Chris Bassitt says he's not over the Blue Jays' World Series loss

While these comments are not exactly what the fans want to hear, it is the truth behind what happened.
The standard in Toronto is finally championship or bust
We are absolutely exhausted from hearing about fun playoff runs and just want a parade down Yonge Street.
Bassitt pitched his heart out from the bullpen during that unbelievable October stretch.
He posted a brilliant 1.04 ERA in the postseason after grinding through a solid 11-9 regular season with a 3.96 ERA.
Even though he is heading to Baltimore, his fierce mentality left a permanent mark on the clubhouse.
Guys like Vladdy and the young core watched a veteran hold himself to the highest possible standard.
You cannot teach that kind of intense personal accountability.
This heartbreaking failure is the exact fuel the front office needs to aggressively build for next year.
The agony of coming so close will forge a tougher, hungrier squad for the upcoming season.
The boys tasted the Fall Classic and now they know exactly what it takes to finish the job.
