Toronto Blue Jays Face Crucial Off-Season Following Disappointing Year
With a last-place finish likely, the Blue Jays must address key player contracts, bullpen issues, and offensive struggles to regain contention.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette's long-term contracts remain uncertain as they approach free agency in 2025.
- The Blue Jays' bullpen, weakened by trades and injuries, is a major area needing improvement.
- Despite a solid starting rotation, the team seeks additional depth, especially a quality left-handed pitcher.
- The poor season allowed rookies and new acquisitions like Spencer Horwitz and Addison Barger to gain valuable playing time.
- General Manager Ross Atkins faces intense pressure to make significant moves, including potentially signing top free agents, to revitalize the team's offense.
