The Toronto Blue Jays have been making some exciting moves lately. In a shocking turn of events, the team has emerged as a finalist in the bidding war for Japanese ace Roki Sasaki. What’s even more surprising is that Sasaki has only visited Toronto and San Diego for second in-person meetings, snubbing the Dodgers in the process ¹.
This development is a significant boost to the Blue Jays’ chances of landing Sasaki, especially considering that the team’s pitch seems to be resonating with the young ace. If they manage to sign him, it would be a monumental achievement for the team.
But that’s not all – the Blue Jays have also been making waves with their recent performances. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit their iconic 1993 season. That year, the team dominated the league, clinching the American League East title with a 95-67 record. They went on to win the World Series, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games ².
The 1993 team was a force to be reckoned with, boasting a star-studded lineup that included Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar, and John Olerud. Their dominant performance was fueled by a combination of smart acquisitions, a strong pitching staff, and a bit of luck.
As the Blue Jays continue to make moves in the present, fans can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and hope for the future. Will they manage to land Roki Sasaki? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the Blue Jays are a team to watch.
