Much has been written about the Blue Jays future pitching challenges. While the upcoming waves of young pitchers look more than promising, the Jays face real challenges in 2020 and possibly in 2021, particularly at the top of the rotation. Arguably what the Jays most need is a veteran, top starter to reduce the pressure on the “kids” by pushing everyone down a slot.
That starter should be under team control for at least 2020 and 2021, to act as a bridge to the Manoahs and Pardinhos and Kloffensteins.
The Cleveland Indians also have a problem.
