Most MLB media sources outside of Rogers have lambasted the Jays offseason.
B) Boston is way better, and the Yankees are way better (assuming their young stars keep it up). Baltimore stayed pretty much the same but their stars are considerably younger than the Jays.
Jays only shot is a wildcard in my opinion and several of the teams they will be battling for it in other divisions are improved as well.
Going to be a pretty big uphill battle if the Jays have another slow start. Should be a good year to watch baseball as a Jays fan again though. I already got my flights booked to Chicago to see the Jays play at Wrigley Field.

Boston is better. Yankees won't be that much better (what have they done? tough to rely on a bunch of sophomores). Baltimore moved laterally as much as the jays have. They have a young core, but they are who they are.
