As of the time that I am writing this post, the Blue Jays have already signed DH Kendrys Morales and utility player, Steve Pearce. These two players are very important to mention because now the chances of resigning Edwin Encarnacion is literally impossible. Everybody in Canada already said their goodbyes to Jose Bautista, and Joaquin Benoit and Brett Cecil have resigned elsewhere. This team already has a different look to it. We have a utility player and a hitter who hits for average rather than power, and our rotation will look so much stronger with R.A. Dickey gone. Here's a list to really help you understand the magnitude of changes that have happened in this off season so far.
Gone New Guys Current Rotation
Jose Bautista Steve Pearce Marco Estrada
Edwin Encarnacion Kendrys Morales Aaron Sanchez
Brett Cecil Jason Grilli (resigned) J.A. Happ
Joaquin Benoit Marcus Stroman
R.A. Dickey Francisco Liriano OR Joe Biagini
Josh Thole
Michael Saunders
Chris Colabello
Dioner Navarro
I just decided to include our rotation as of now because the Red Sox just signed CHRIS SALE and I wanted to see if we could compete with their rotation. In my opinion, we DEFINITELY can. We have 3 pitchers who deserve at least a CY Young candidacy and 2 pitchers who are also really good. I'm quite confident next year. How about you guys?
