One can make the argument that they were a very unlucky team last year. They lost a whole bunch but probably should have been a 75 win team and not too bad. So there is some reason for optimism and starting pitching is a big need. However it’s a badly run franchise. Despite last making the playoffs in 2016 (when the Jays thumped them three straight) they have finished no better than third since and that was once. Most often they’ve finished fifth. And it’s about to be the 2023 season and looking at their farm system it’s like between 6-12. Like what the hell are they doing that they suck for so long yet can’t get a good farm system. In contrast the Jays had a top 3 farm system after like 2019 despite starting the decline around the same time. Just a badly run franchise compared to their in state neighbours.

Edit: they can compete with the angels next year to figure out who gets to be the sad third place team behind Houston and Seattle.
