Nick Ashbourne takes a closer look at the hitters the Toronto Blue Jays seem to be counting on to give their club more in 2024 than 2023, and how likely they are to clear that bar.

The Blue Jays can't claim that 2023 was a year of great progress for them considering they failed to win a playoff game for the second consecutive season, though it did provide for some learning opportunities. Nick Ashbourne looks at what 2023 taught the team about their top players.

On the surface, Cody Bellinger seems like a strong fit for the Blue Jays on a number of levels. But as Nick Ashbourne writes, if you dive a little deeper, there's a strong chance that money could be better allocated elsewhere.

If the Toronto Blue Jays had succeeded in their free-agent pursuit of Shohei Ohtani, the team would’ve gotten both a franchise centrepiece and clarity about their long-term competitive outlook.

Discussion around the Toronto Blue Jays has centred around two things so far: offensive upgrades and Shohei Ohtani. But adding a few pitchers should also be considered, writes Nick Ashbourne.

With Adolis Garcia out of the lineup, the Rangers needed other hitters to step up. Marcus Semien did just that. Nick Ashbourne has the takeaways from the Rangers' dominant Game 4 victory that has them just one win away from a World Series title.

As the Diamondbacks fight it out in the NLCS with Gabriel Moreno slugging .609 in the post-season, it’s easy to see why the approval rating for the Daulton Varsho deal is miniscule within the Blue Jays fanbase.
