Spring training is in the rear-view mirror and the Toronto Blue Jays are all set for their first "normal" season since 2019.
There's plenty of buzz around this team as it gets ready to take on the Texas Rangers Friday in front of a packed Rogers Centre, and rightfully so. The Blue Jays won 91 games in 2021 and return most of the key pieces from a squad that missed the playoffs by one game. Robbie Ray and Marcus Semien are no longer with the club, but Kevin Gausman, Yusei Kikuchi and Matt Chapman have been brought in to complement a very talented core.
