Coming into 2019, the Toronto Blue Jays were starting to begin the rebuild.
Veterans such as Kendrys Morales, Kevin Pillar and Russell Martin were sent packing and other key players from the recent playoff runs had long moved on.
Looking back at the 2016 roster, the only players who remain on the squad in 2019 are Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Ryan Tepera, Devon Travis, and Joe Biagini. This just further establishes the rebuild philosophy. The younger players within the farm system are going to start making their way to the active roster and the team will look to hopefully be competitive within the next 3-5 years (emphasis on hopefully).
