Toronto Blue Jays

Manager: Charlie Montoyo (first season). 2018: 73-89, fourth place. First Workout: Feb. 14/18. He’s Here: INF Freddy Galvis, RHP David Phelps, LHP Clayton Richard, RHP Matt Shoemaker, RHP Julian Merryweather. He’s Outta Here: Manager John Gibbons, C Russell Martin, SS Troy Tulowitzki, INF Aledmys Diaz, RHP Oliver Drake, RHP Marco Estrada, RHP Mark Leiter Jr., INF Yangervis Solarte. Going campin’: The Blue Jays are in the early stages of a rebuild centered around top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who likely won’t be promoted before mid-april — a move that will delay his free agency by a season. The team is likely to spend 2019 trying to establish roles for a group of young position players while seeking to acquire and develop the pieces it needs for a stronger and deeper pitching staff. Until then, no amount of slugging from Guerrero is likely to be enough for Toronto to stay in touch with the leaders in the tough AL East.
