When the Blue Jays began the off-season, their biggest priority was improving their starting rotation. The fans knew it, the players knew, and it was so obvious that even the front office came out and stated that they would seek to make improvements to that part of the roster.
Thankfully they were able to do just that, signing Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tanner Roark, and Shun Yamaguchi as free agents, trading for Chase Anderson, and retaining Matt Shoemaker, who should be healthy after a lost season to a knee injury.
