The Jays do need some changes and a shake up but honeslty the 2022 and 2023 season couldn't have been more different even if they had similar outcomes.

Arizona is rebuilding, they're actually just ahead of schedule with this run but there's a lot of talent there and they play the right way. We don't watch enough NL baseball so we don't see this. And the Diamondbacks have always been known for defense even when they were losing 100 games. Gurriel defended much better there, because someone taught him how to.
The Jays are not rebuilding, they're supposed to be there already. The Jays already got passed by Baltimore's rebuild.
I think the Jays problem is coaching and front office, not personnel. So bringing in new guys is just shuffling the deck chairs. Yes, the two years were different. In 2022 you had hitters who the coaches couldn't teach how to defend and this year, you had fielders who the coaches couldn't teach how to hit. And then the boneheaded baserunning problems remain.
And the pitching was relatively injury free, which won't happen all the time.
