The Toronto Blue Jays began a series against the Angels, bringing attention to former pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, who shared that the Jays did not extend him a free agent offer post-trade. Kikuchi excelled after a trade to the Astros last summer, pitching to a 2.70 ERA. He noted that the Jays opted for Bowden Francis, who performed admirably with a 1.80 ERA. The team's offseason emphasis was on improving their lineup instead of their pitching rotation, leading to the signing of Max Scherzer, whose injury has raised concerns about their depth.
The Blue Jays focused on rebuilding their lineup over enhancing their rotation, signing Max Scherzer but dealing with injuries and lack of depth options like Bloss.
Yusei Kikuchi expressed a lack of surprise over the Blue Jays not offering him a contract, given Bowden Francisâ impressive performance after his departure.
