Toronto mostly running it back and hoping that its offence returns to life in 2024
There was no roster makeover, blockbuster trade or eye-popping free-agent signing for the Toronto Blue Jays this past off-season.
Team brass did take a run at landing two-way superstar free agent Shohei Ohtani in the off-season but missed out. The Blue Jays then shifted focus to the foundation in place while hoping a few additions and some tinkering to team approach pays dividends. “It’s just a complete club,” said veteran slugger Justin Turner, who signed a one-year deal with Toronto. “I think the starting pitching, the bullpen, the defence, the potential lineup is insane.The pitching staff — particularly the starting rotation — was durable last season. But this year’s spring training was not as kind.
The bullpen lost Jordan Hicks to free agency but will have Chad Green for the start of the season this time around. Rodriguez, a Cuban right-hander who previously played in Japan, signed a five-year deal and could be used in a variety of roles.
