have been busy during baseball’s long winter, a time for teams to address needs and sell hope.
Following a 67-win season — their lowest total in 15 years — the Blue Jays stocked up on pitchers and cleared a whopping 22 retained salaries from their ledger. With a revamped rotation and a young corps of position players, there’s hope within the team that significant strides are coming in 2020. “It takes time for us to get to a point where fans can see, ‘OK, this is turning,'” Toronto general manager Ross Atkins said Wednesday in an appearance onSome of the buds have yet to surface, submerged in a farm system that has strengthened through the rebuild. And if the Blue Jays have any moves on the horizon, that farm system could play a key role.
With names like Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Nolan Arenado generating sustained trade chatter, a well-stocked prospect pool would be vital. “We haven’t traded prospects away,” Atkins said. “So, having the ability to do that — still having a very good system to trade from — that’s really what moves the needle. If we were to make a move, it’s not going to deplete our system in a way that’s detrimental.”
BlueJays Everyone hates on Atkins they had to make some tough decisions but are setting the team up nicely to compete probably next year ( not a Ross Atkins burner account)
BlueJays 75-87‼️‼️
BlueJays Congrats Ross on doing your job.
