The Red Sox's division rival made it to the World Series last season and lost in extra innings in Game 7 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a stunning year for Toronto, who was around . 500 until the beginning of June before getting hot.
This season, the Blue Jays, like Boston have gotten off to a slow start, yet Martinez believes Toronto doesn’t have it what it takes to turn it around as they did last season. “Blue Jays: The team doesn’t look like it has what it takes. I love the team but there’s something missing.
It’s not just pitching. They need more,” Martinez wrote on X on Wednesday. It’s an interesting take from Martinez as the Blue Jays didn’t look like a legit playoff threat at this point last year, either.
