The Blue Jays arrive in town in kind of a weird spot. The team did a lot of work in the offseason to improve themselves and possibly compete in the AL East, which is not an easy feat considering the competition.
They made big splashes by picking up veteran names during the offseason, such as George Springer and Marcus Semien, and add to the bevy of young names in their clubhouse. The team also picked up Kirby Yates and Steven Matz to help improve the pitching. However, injuries have mounted for the team and blunted their momentum somewhat in the early goings.
