Blue Jays: Why Trent Thornton should be a rotation lock in 2020

The 2019 season was a pretty forgettable one for the Blue Jays, outside of the debuts of several exciting rookies. It was a long season, just imagine what it would have been like if he didn’t have the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, and more to keep us interested.

Perhaps the most maddening aspect of the 2020 roster was the starting rotation, which at times had as few as two viable MLB starters, with the rest of the games being stitched together by “openers” and “bulk guys”. We even saw Charlie Montoyo have no choice but to send Edwin Jackson out to the hill, even when he was sporting a four digit ERA.
