Through the struggles the Blue Jays faced during the 2019 season, I was pleased that I didn’t see many fans blaming the team’s new skipper, Charlie Montoyo. In reality, last year’s dreadful total of just 67 wins had almost nothing to do with Montoyo’s work.
It was a rebuilding season that the Blue Jays had signed up for, and something that Montoyo knew he would face when he took the job as the bench boss in Toronto. However, it’s not hard to see that the 54-year-old is feeling more optimistic about what’s ahead this season. That’s more than fair considering he’s now equipped with a real starting rotation, and his lineup is full of promising young hitters as well.
