“It’s not good enough to have depth,” said Atkins. “We have to have guys who can contribute in significant ways. What I can tell you is our off-season will look more like the off-season after ’15, after ’16, where we were much more open to different structure and term. Whether or not that name is a year-in, year-out all-star name, is too hard to say yes or no to. But I can say we need to acquire pitching that we can count on.”
“We’ve got to do a better job of putting the ball in play. That is clear and we will do that,” said Atkins. “We started to see that in the second half. Teoscar’s approach was much better. The swing and miss is still there but the chase is less. Randal had a significant effort to do so, and we saw times of improvement where there was less swing and miss and more contact in zone, certainly a better performer in the second half, but the emphasis was there. I think the opportunity is there in the game of shifting. …
"I think that's the key for me to have a great year next year," Guerrero said in September, according to TSN's Scott Mitchell. "I feel good the way I am right now, but I'm going to try to come back a lot better. Maybe try to be 15 or 20 pounds less for spring training and I will take it from there after that."
As for Guerrero Jr., he needs improving & conditioning:Quote"I think that's the key for me to have a great year next year," Guerrero said in September, according to TSN's Scott Mitchell.

This is now in place.. For the Jays they need to add a hitting Outfielder, I think the rest of the offense is in place...now.....Shoemaker (stay healthy for a season), Borucki, Thornton, Kay and perhaps we see Pearson at some point. Still not sold on Waguespack. Keep Giles around for sure. Not there yet but in two years it should be.

#BlueJays’ deal with RHP Shun Yamaguchi is for two years and just over $6M, plus performance bonuses. Pending a physical.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 17, 2019

Chance for Yamaguchi to be No. 5 starter, but #BlueJays believe more likely role might be in bullpen. Split-fingered fastball is his principal weapon, useful against both RH and LH hitters.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 17, 2019

The Jays are really struggling so far at the plate. I don't like the approach a lot of guys are taking early on. Lots of overly aggressive swings and the offense looks like it has gone back to the home run or bust approach at the plate.
