The Toronto Blue Jays have always prided themselves on having a positive culture in the clubhouse. Last season, it would seem that that aspect got away from them.
While many things didn't go right for the Blue Jays in 2024, it would appear that clubhouse drama played a role in their troubles.
No Blue Jays player or official has supplied specifics about what went down, but many have offered up their thoughts as a whole.
Last year, we had a few things that didn't let us be out there with confidence and happy. We have already worked on that and talked about that. Our relationship with the coaches is better.» - starter Jose Berrios.
This isn't the first time this has happened. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been open in the past about how internal issues have led to struggles on the field. After former manager Charlie Montoyo was fired midway through 2022, many reports surfaced indicating that he had lost control of the clubhouse.
«We have to get better in the clubhouse. I can say we're way different than last year. I can see in spring training, everybody's together, everybody talks, everybody's doing [their] work, preparation, every time. To me, the kids [are] better in the clubhouse, and I think we're better this year than last year.» - Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
It happens in any scenario where there are a lot of egos at play. Still, manager John Schneider has said that, this year, all players, coaches, executives, and personnel are on the same page.
Blue Jays fans have been witness to what it looks like when the Blue Jays are vibing. Just look at the 2021 season. The Blue Jays have lost a little of that. Hopefully, a more cohesive clubhouse will lead to better results on the field.
