In fairness we have to wait until February to see how things shake out. There is a path to meaningful improvement of this team but Atkins may have to thread the needle to do it. As it stands right now who is our third baseman? Who is our closer? Will Bo be here on opening day or is the plan to move him and put Gimenez at SS and Wagner at 2b? Are they going to try to get a TOR starter or go with a second tier option? Will they get a first baseman and move Vladdy to 3b? Is the plan to dump Vladdy at the trade deadline? Will Varsho be ready for opening day? Who is the cleanup hitter? How will the Jays supplement their anemic offense? This team hit 156 home runs in 2024, 26th in all of bball. Only Tampa and the White Sox were worse in the AL for hitting bombs. They need to add 60 to that number. How? Where's the big bat we were promised?
This team is full of questions and Ross Atkins is the Riddler!
