It’s no secret that the Blue Jays are going to be going through a rebuild over the next couple of seasons, and that fact will certainly play into the decisions that Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro make going forward.
We watched the Blue Jays start to take steps in this direction late in the 2018 season, giving regular playing time to talented prospects in favour of the veterans on the roster. For example, Russell Martin barely saw the field at all in September, which allowed John Gibbons to get a good look at both Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire, and to give them valuable MLB experience.
