The Toronto Blue Jays have gotten off to a great start to their 2018 season, going 9-5 in their first 14 games before being rained out against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. There has been a lot of pleasant surprises, solid contributions from the new additions, and a great energy around this year’s version of the Blue Jays.

Despite bringing in a host of new faces and having a healthy Aaron Sanchez back in the rotation, all anyone wanted to discuss in March was Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, and other budding stars in the minor league system.
