For the last couple of years we’ve consistently heard about how the Blue Jays wants to get younger and more athletic, and they’ve certainly done a lot to address that situation so far this winter. For a team that not so long ago sported the oldest roster in baseball, there will be a lot of youth in the clubhouse next season.
With youth comes a lot more athleticism, and hopefully a lot less collective time spent on the disabled list for the young group. Injuries have been a problem for the Blue Jays in recent years, with chronic examples like Josh Donaldson, Troy Tulowitzki, and Aaron Sanchez being just the tip of the iceberg.
