It’s no secret Bo Bichette has reenergized the Blue Jays and with Vlad Guerrero Jr. red hot as well, Toronto suddenly finds themselves playing their best baseball of the season.
After Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Joe Biagini and several other pitchers were sent packing around the deadline, the rotation and overall pitching depth pointed towards the Jays trending further downhill than their already dismal .391 winning percentage heading into August. But with the Blue Jays’ young core led by Bichette, Guerrero, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Cavan Biggio, what once seemed like a foregone conclusion Toronto would own a top five selection in next year’s draft is no longer such a sure thing.
