The Toronto Blue Jays are having a remarkable season, currently holding the best record in the American League and even MLB. The team's success is attributed to their depth and contributions from various players, rather than just top-end talent. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is also showing signs of improvement, with recent strong performances.

"#WorldSeries #WANTITALL ⚾🧵🪡 A Vision Valuations & Validation Mark Shapiro & Ross Atkins came to Toronto in a near no-win situation. Replacing a homegrown folk-hero GM & taking over an aging roster approaching its best-before date. But the long-term vision is now here"

"The other calling card of this Jays team over the last few years is how they've chosen to invest in starting pitching especially a certain type of veteran starting pitcher. They seem really adept at targeting guys who can stay healthy & productive (also a big shoutout to Strength & Conditioning team for keeping TOR pitchers off the IL)"

"Or it allows them to swing big when searching for starting pitching depth. Having the luxury of handing out $15m to a 5th SP might not seem like much in June or July. but it felt massive in Seattle last week"

"This past trade deadline was another sign of how this FO values starting pitching. There were calls to make a massive move for a Mason Miller or Jhoan Duran but the Jays instead zeroed in on Shane Bieber. Again a move that felt massive when Toronto's season was on the line down 0-2 in the ALCS:"

"The trade deadline was also an example of how the Jays are consistent with who they value & aren't afraid to "go off the board" so to speak to find their guys. No one was talking about Louis Varland at the deadline but despite allowing some HRs Varland's postseason numbers look really good and he has a chance to set an MLB record for appearances in a single postseason"

"Choosing to invest in Alejandro Kirk long-term over Danny Jansen & Gabriel Moreno was also a clue to how this FO operated. Valuing elite defence and repeatable dependable skills (framing bat control plate discipline). Some people scoffed at the contract extension. So far it seems as if they're wrong"

"One of my favourite things about the roster construction of the 2025 Blue Jays as well is how they value veterans. I believe in the power of having adults in the room. I believe a big reason for Toronto having such great camaraderie is the healthy dose of guys who "just get it." Like IKF & Myles Straw"

"And again the investment in player payroll provides benefits in unexpected ways. It allows the Jays the luxury of rolling out a 30-something vet who's unfazed by the moment of a massive Game 7"

"Make no mistake there are GMs around the league (hello AJ Preller) who would have moved then-double-A-pitcher Trey Yesavage to make a splash at the deadline. But the Jays were convicted and had a plan for Yesavage. And while I think there are still valid questions about how he might fare long-term once he goes around the league a couple times. for now it's a huge win"

"(If you've made it to the end. Bravo) All the themes I've written about here. a vision. having faith in guys. valuing certain traits above others (defence baserunning contact baseball IQ good people). No one embodies those themes or can mirror the arc of the 2025 Blue Jays better than Ernie Clement. A castoff of two other franchises. Some clear limitations to his game. A 29-year old who came into 2025 with a career slash line of 249/282/361. But the Jays believed in him. And he has rewarded them (and us). You can make an argument there's no player in MLB who's provided more value on a"

"Love this conversation. I abhor the cliche so you can't pick too good of a player. Unfortunately that means Vlad is out prob Springer too. Bo is a free agent. Pitchers are too sporadically involved. Leaves Kirk Varsho Barger Clement Gimenez Lukes. I'd lean Kirk or Varsho"

"It was a vision of renewal. Modernizing not only a stadium but nearly every way Baseball Ops went about its business. And it was also about reviving the Jays into an MLB power. Bringing them back into the stratosphere of top spenders. That began in earnest when they signed George Springer early in the decade. That contract seemed like it would be a net loss heading into 2025 but Springer's amazing year--punctuated by the second-most consequential swing in franchise history--completely validated the acquisition"

"Ironically though the Jays have frequently acquired good baserunners over the last few years (Chapman Kiermaier Straw etc.) the team's overall baserunning had remained average at best. Until this postseason that is. Though they aren't stealing bases their ability to take the extra base and take risks has made them the most effective baserunning team this postseason. (also shoutout to 3rd base coach Carlos Febles for some outstanding work)"

"Not every move has worked out. But the beauty of having a $XXX million payroll is that your batting average doesn't need to be XXXXX. And it also grants you time. It allows you to be patient with people you believe in. Like Andres Gimenez. Someone who I really felt good about right away. It was a poor regular season (offensively) but with X swings in the ALCS the trade was a win"

"I've had faith in this group since Spring (predicted XX wins). I picked them to win the World Series over the Dodgers before the postseason began. I believe in good process & good people. They're obviously huge underdogs (well as much as team with a top X payroll can be). but to quote my favourite movie:"
