Blue Jays: 25 years of changes makes winning (and repeating) difficult
25 years of Toronto Blue Jays changes in the approach taken to managing the roster and their development makes winning and repeating as champions difficult.
The 2018 Toronto Blue Jays, a team with one of the oldest starting lineups in the majors, started the season unsure whether they should make a run for the post-season or rebuild for the future. By the time they realized a rebuild was in their immediate plans, many of the pieces they thought they could divest themselves of, to acquire new ones, went down with injuries or started to quickly show their age. This greatly diminished their collective value.
