The Blue Jays’ off-season has been a bit of a disaster so far. While Canada’s team was missing out on Shohei Ohtaini, the rival Yankees were starting to load up in a division that already contained the promising Orioles and pesky Rays.
Last spring, the Jays were considered favourites to win the American League East. This year, a lack of upgrades means they might be projected to finish as low as fourth. Even if this group as currently assembled lives up to its potential, a spot in the playoffs is far from guaranteed.
