The Blue Jays had a let down of a 2023 season that was followed by a disastrous off-season.
Management only seemed to have signed aging players at the end of their careers with players like Votto and Turner.

As far as injuries go, the lineup is filled with them with Kevin Gausman likely to miss at least a few starts if not more. Alex Manoah's injury will have him sidelined for the start of the season as well and their starting catching is set to miss at least a few weeks.
