I personally don't think there needs to be soul searching for why the team sucks.
It's called pitching.
Switch Cano and Bautista and Seattle is probably still just as good because they have this guy named Felix, this other guy named Hisashi, plus this other guy named Chris Young.
All three have better stats then any one pitcher on the Blue Jays.
Bautista had a slightly down season this year with his bat, injuries have hurt him, but the issues with the Bluejays begin and end with pitching.

Seattle has had Felix forever, Iwakuma for three years, and Chris Young is a guy with an 84mph fastball.
Why are the Blue Jays pitchers so bad? Why has the Toronto starting staff become a graveyard for otherwise successful pitchers? Could it possibly be the toxic atmosphere surrounding the team?
