For the third time in four seasons, the Toronto Blue Jays have been swept in the wild-card round of the MLB playoffs.
In the other year, they fell one win short of waging a three-game battle for playoff survival.
After an agonizing 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, the Blue Jays have confirmed that 2023 will not be a year of forward progress for the franchise. It's an outcome that an inconsistent 89-73 season hinted at, but the team had an opportunity to rewrite it's narrative in these playoffs.
