The Toronto Blue Jays got an MVP-caliber campaign from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2021, but the team came up just short of the playoffs on the final day of the season. Today, The Athletic’s Kaitlyn McGrath tells us how the Jays responded after the disappointment of missing out, and how they’ve rebuilt their roster after the losses of Robbie Ray and Marcus Semien to set the bar even higher in 2022. Also on this episode: how Canada’s vaccine rules are impacting the Jays, and their rivals, and what to expect when Rogers Centre has a full house for the first time since 2019.
