Pressure On: 1st half of campaign will be key for Blue Jays' future | CBC Sports
Briefly

The Toronto Blue Jays enter a critical season with stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette on expiring contracts. After a disappointing prior season, there's urgency to perform well early in the 162-game schedule. A poor performance may necessitate trades, risk losing players to free agency, and potentially trigger a rebuild. Key acquisitions like Max Scherzer and others signal a focus on improvement, while optimism remains high among players and management about being competitive in the AL East.
With homegrown stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette in the final year of their contracts, the Toronto Blue Jays must set a winning tone this season.
The pressure is on Canada's lone big-league team, as a poor first half could lead to significant trades and the potential for a rebuilding process.
Manager John Schneider emphasized that while they missed out on some free agents, they are satisfied with their acquisitions and are focused on improving the team's performance.
Starting pitcher Kevin Gausman remains optimistic, stating that the team has the potential to be one of the top teams in the AL East if everything clicks.
