Blue Jays have progressed, but still work to do

Here's a look at what Toronto has done so far this offseason and what holes still need to be filled:

Mission accomplished

The bench
The Blue Jays moved quickly to address a lot of their depth issues. First baseman Justin Smoak was re-signed to continue his platoon with Chris Colabello, Josh Thole stuck around to become R.A. Dickey's personal catcher and veteran Darwin Barney was re-signed to replace Cliff Pennington as the club's primary utility infielder.

Smoak's two-run homer
9/11/15: Justin Smoak smacks a two-run home run to right field, giving the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning

Colabello and Smoak combined to hit 33 home runs with 113 RBIs in 2015, and even after a significant raise, the two will make approximately $4.
