For the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays, brighter days are ahead ... almost Globe_Sports
Toronto Blue Jays' Bo Bichette, right, shares a laugh with teammate catcher Patrick Cantwell as they face the Milwaukee Brewers in a spring training baseball game in Montreal on March 26, 2019.It’s a question that can easily be applied to the Toronto Blue Jays as they embark on a season with a roster brimming with so much new blood that buying a program will be mandatory for those still inclined to buy tickets.
Attendance sank by almost 11,000 a game during last year’s 73-89 debacle, the largest dip of any major-league club, so the attendance bar has already been set at limbo levels. Youth has to be served in any rebuild and with the Blue Jays that charge – eventually, anyway – will be led by 20-year-old third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., regarded as the game’s top young talent who will start the season in Triple A after recovering from an oblique strain.
After 18 years managing in the minor leagues and four years as a coach with the Tampa Bay Rays, this will be the 53-year-old Montoyo’s first crack at calling the shots in the majors. It will not be an easy task.
