The Toronto Blue Jays entered 2024 with high expectations, yet struggles from key players like Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette led to disappointing results. With the team's recent reputation diminishing, and potential departures of star players looming, the Blue Jays find themselves in a tough AL East division. Competing teams like the Yankees, Orioles, Red Sox, and Rays are strengthening their positions, which significantly limits Toronto's opportunities. Upcoming pitching matchups have been scheduled but the outlook remains uncertain for the Blue Jays' season.
The team that built its reputation the last few years as being "sons of major leaguers" may not be wrong for this world. Cavan Biggio was jettisoned last summer.
With the Yankees spending money to try and replace Juan Soto, the Orioles a couple years into their farm-power, the Red Sox starting a youth movement, and the Rays always finding talent, there just isn't much of a window for Toronto to push open.
