The Toronto Blue Jays remade their starting rotation in a quest to contend. Will that be enough in 2020?

The Toronto Blue Jays are an offensive powerhouse in the making and we’re going to see that come to fruition in 2020. Much did not happen for the Jays last season until they called up the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and Cavan Biggio, but once they did, it became abundantly evident that this Blue Jays team has quite a bright future ahead of it.

Will the Jays contend for a playoff spot in 2020? Why yes I believe they will to a certain extent. This team has all the makings of a squad that will hang around with some of the bigger teams and over-perform. Offensively, this is a gifted Toronto Blue Jays team with the power of youth on their side.

Their lineup 1-9 can go toe-to-toe with just about any other lineup in the big leagues. The question will be how their pitching performs this season. They made great strides this past offseason by landing Hyun-Jin Ryu in free agency. Ryu had a Cy Young caliber 2019 and has quietly established himself as one of the more consistent starting pitchers in all of baseball.
