I consider myself to be on the more optimistic side of the Blue Jays’ fanbase, but even I’ll admit that I don’t expect this team to compete for a playoff spot in 2020. I think shooting for a .500 record is a feasible and reasonable goal, but I expect it’ll be at least 2021 before we see the Blue Jays with a realistic shot at qualifying for the postseason.
Because they are still in the relatively early stages of the rebuild, there hasn’t been much of an emphasis on improving the team in the immediate term, which is something we saw in particular with the starting rotation during this past season.
