Lessons Blue Jays can learn from turbulent 2024 season
Nick Ashbourne
As tough a summer as it’s been, amidst the rubble of 2024 lies an opportunity for the Toronto Blue Jays to extract lessons that can serve the franchise in the future.

The dominant narrative surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays for most of the last two seasons has revolved around their unimpressive offence driving disappointing results. Things have changed a bit recently, though.
What could Will Wagner's offensive profile look like with Blue Jays?
Nick Ashbourne
While the hot start and the strong minor-league numbers imply that Will Wagner is a safe bet to keep raking in a Blue Jays uniform, the trade deadline acquisition might be the team’s most unpredictable young player when it comes to future production.

The Toronto Blue Jays are not ignorant to that reality, and appear open to the idea of making a meaningful effort to keep Vladdy in the fold. Coming together on an extension won’t necessarily be easy, though, and his position is a significant reason why.
What to watch for from youngest key Blue Jays down stretch

The Toronto Blue Jays did not begin their 2024 season hoping to engage in a full-scale youth movement, but that’s where they find themselves now.

Nick Ashbourne
While it’s too early to say whether Horwitz can succeed defensively at second base, it’s clear that it would be both excellent for the Blue Jays and transformative for his career if he manages it.
