During the offseason, and now the early season, Toronto has cleansed itself of all the players who were taking up roster spots, and potential playing time for the young core that will carry the Blue Jays into the future.
They released Troy Tulowitzki, then moved on to trading Russell Martin, and then dealing Kendrys Morales, and now by moving Kevin Pillar. Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins have shown that they are ready for the new wave of players to come up and help Toronto form a fresh and very talented core.
