Biggest questions for the Blue Jays this off-season
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit just nine homers and Toronto finished last in the majors with 152, prompting a search for more power and pitching depth.
- The Toronto Blue Jays missed the post-season following a season plagued by injuries and offensive regression; team brass will hold season-ending availabilities on Wednesday to address the team's performance.
- Starting pitcher injuries defined the season, as Cody Ponce, Jose Berrios, and Bowden Francis were lost for the year, while Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber faced multiple injured list stints.
- Vladimir Guerrero managed just nine home runs after a standout post-season last year, while Toronto finished last in the major leagues with 152 homers and tied for 28th in OPS.
- Despite rotation issues, the bullpen remained a strength, led by Louis Varland's 35 saves and Mason Fluharty's league-leading 83 appearances, while Spencer Miles posted a 6-2 mark over 49 appearances.
- General manager Ross Atkins plans to seek a power bat and pitching depth this off-season; with about $195 million on the books for next year, the club navigates the collective bargaining agreement expiring Dec. 1.
