Toronto opens a series against the KC Royals tonight with a look it didn’t plan.
The KC Royals and Toronto Blue Jays spent the winter on identical missions. Both teams worked hard to improve and, at least on paper, both succeeded. Unlike the Royals, however, the specific fruits of the Jays’ offseason labor have yet to be fully tested.
Simply put, Toronto is missing its top additions and isn’t the team it hoped to be as it prepares to open a three-game series with Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium tonight.
