Why Blue Jays need to shoulder some blame in Alek Manoah fiasco

Related Topics: Alek Manoah, Toronto Blue Jays

There is plenty of blame to share for Alek Manoah’s nightmare 2023 season, both for the player and the Toronto Blue Jays themselves.

Toronto's 2023 Opening Day starter is unlikely to throw another pitch this season after reportedly being shut down for the remainder of the year. It concludes a miserable third big-league campaign that included career-worsts across the board.

Manoah, who’ll finish with a 5.87 ERA and 6.02 FIP over 19 starts, repeatedly failed to execute when he took the mound for the Blue Jays and rarely put his club in a position to succeed.
