The Toronto Blue Jays are in a somewhat uncomfortable position. The expanded playoffs provide them hope of qualifying to October baseball, but that is far from a sure thing, and the smart money is on them not sacrificing pieces for their contention window. In other words, they probably don’t have what it takes to compete with the American League powerhouses this year, but it is unclear if they are going to give it a shot anyway. The most likely scenario, is that they stay the course and maybe flip a piece or two for prospects.
They are currently 8-11, as of Tuesday afternoon, 6.
