It's March 7, here's your Toronto Blue Jays News in two minutes. The Toronto Blue Jays are building on their 2025 World Series appearance with plans for another strong postseason run in 20-26. While stars like Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. will carry much of the load, manager John Schneider stresses the need for solid depth across the roster. He recently highlighted Outfielder Miles Straw as a key piece expected to fill a steady roll again next year. Strider prays Straw for stepping up last season, noting how he managed a bigger workload than anyone anticipated while keeping the clubhouse steady. He expects more of the same from the speedy defender moving forward. Straw made his mark in his first year with Toronto by appearing in 137 games. He hit 262 with a 313 on-base percentage and 367 slugging and 299 plate appearances proving reliable without stealing the spotlight from the big bats. This stood out most was Straw's glove work, carrying over from his gold glove days in

Cleveland. He ranked in the 91st percentile for fielding run value and 97th for outs above average, anchoring the Outfielder defense. Looking ahead, Straw's unexpected playing time last year has Schneider leaving the door open for similar opportunities in 20-26 as the Jays aim to stay competitive.
