We’ve finally done it. For millennia, a person’s outlook on life could be tested with a simple idiom, one you may be familiar with: a straightforward question of whether or not a glass of water was half full or half empty.

What Would an “Optimized” Blue Jays Lineup Look Like in 2018?
The 2018 season opens this week, and with it comes the annual debate about who should be leading off the Blue Jays lineup. Toronto has not possessed a prototypical leadoff hitter for a few years now, which has resulted in John Gibbons rolling out some fascinating lineup configurations in recent memory. Along with the leadoff […]
Is Troy Tulowitzki Poised to Bounce Back in 2018?
As we find ourselves closer and closer to spring training with an unusually underdeveloped free agent market, the 2018 Blue Jays roster is nonetheless beginning to come into focus. The Blue Jays have yet to make a big-name acquisition, thus far focusing on depth players like Yangervis Solarte and Aledmys Diaz. These moves were likely motivated by […]
How the Blue Jays Can Trade Kendrys Morales
From the outside, it appears that this offseason hasn’t been kind to the Blue Jays – who are currently farther away from 2018 contention than they were at the beginning of it.

Ezequiel Carrera’s Approach is Evolving
Ezequiel Carrera’s beginnings with the Blue Jays came with little fervor or fanfare. After signing with Toronto as a minor league free agent prior to the 2015 season, he made his Blue Jays debut in May of that year replacing a struggling Dalton Pompey. The move wasn’t likely thought to be a long-term one, as […]
Toronto’s Future Plans Will Have a Lot to Do With Russell Martin
The Blue Jays are currently caught in a tough spot. They continue to boast a core group of players with several years of control remaining: Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Roberto Osuna, Devon Travis, Joe Biagini, and Kevin Pillar. They also have money tied up long term to some aging players to help complement the young […]
