For team that sorely lacked depth in 2017, the Blue Jays sure don’t seem to have that problem this season, and I can’t imagine it being an issue for the next several years on the offensive side. The team has a great deal of veteran talent throughout the 25 man roster, but there’s no denying that change has taken place in recent years, and the identify of the Blue Jays is starting to shift.
Don’t get me wrong, this is still very much a team lead by Josh Donaldson, Russell Martin, and other veterans in the clubhouse, but it’s undeniable that there is a different energy around this year’s version of the Blue Jays, both with the new additions to the roster this offseason, and the minor league injections to the team.
