As my colleague Clayton Richer wrote the other day, it’s time for the Blue Jays’ front office to shift their focus to improving the bullpen, and I’m sure now that teams are back from their mini-break over the holidays that Ross Atkins and company are doing just that.
It’s strangely comforting that the Blue Jays have addressed their rotation needs so strongly this early in the off-season, as the group will feature veterans including Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tanner Roark, Chase Anderson, Matt Shoemaker, and likely one of the plethora of young starters that had an opportunity in 2019.
