If you took a poll of fans of the Toronto Blue Jays and asked them what the number one need for this team going forward is, I’m confident than 95% or more would tell you that the need is in the pitching department. With a strong position player core led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio and more, there’s a lot of promise for offence in 2020 and beyond.
While there were some encouraging steps made by guys like Trent Thornton and Jacob Waguespack in 2019, there’s no question that the Blue Jays need to improve their starting rotation before they’ll be serious contenders for an AL playoff spot again.
