Romano established himself as one of the best closers in the game, with 36 saves. If the Blue Jays want a competitive rotation next year, Berríos has to get back to the 2017-2021 version of himself.Ĩ-12. He had 17 quality starts - same as Gausman - but his bad starts often snowballed. His season - the first after he signed a seven-year, $131 million deal - was defined by highs and lows. No qualified starter had a worse ERA than Berríos’ 5.23 in 32 starts. With Manoah, he’ll lead the rotation in 2023.

If not for some bad luck, his numbers might look even better as his 3.35 ERA is basically a run higher than his FIP (2.38). Gausman was everything the Blue Jays expected when they handed him a five-year, $110 million contract. All in all, it was a fantastic sophomore season and one that cemented Manoah as a pillar of Toronto’s rotation for years to come. He’ll surely finish with some down-ballot Cy Young votes. His 2.24 ERA ranked third among AL starters. Manoah set a career-high in innings pitched (196 2/3) and threw the fourth-most innings in the American League. Moving forward, the priority will be keeping Springer healthy, and perhaps that means more time in right field or at DH. 267/.342/.472 with 25 home runs, in line with what you’d expect. In many of those, however, he was battling an elbow issue. He also improved his strikeout rate (27.4) from the last two years (33.1). He fought through a bad-luck first half to finish the year slashing. In the past, the front office has been firm that he’s their shortstop and his work ethic is unmatched.Ĭhapman was a difference-maker on defence and his bat was as advertised. He did grade out below average defensively - he had 23 errors, one fewer than 2021 - and it’s worth wondering if he’ll stay at shortstop. 406/.444/.662 in September/October helped him finish with similar numbers to last year.

He’ll spend the offseason striving to be better in 2023.īichette deserves credit for a strong finish to an uneven year. A young player’s progress is not always linear. But in 2022, there were more strikeouts and fewer walks, more chase in his swing, too many groundballs and not enough barrels. Because of Guerrero’s talent, his down year was still very good, with a 132 wRC+ and 32 home runs. The 23-year-old had a down year compared to the high bar he set in 2021.

Returning to an obvious role (barring a trade) Here is a look at all 43 players, with an eye on where they stand heading into the 2023 season. There are a few free agents, some non-tender and DFA candidates, and perhaps, some could be moved in a trade.

Not everyone on the roster will be returning next season. At the end of the year, the Blue Jays’ 40-man roster stood at 43, including players on the injured list.
