(Rightfully so because he didn't step off the rubber)

This is not including the SP Gerrit Cole. lineup with debut year:

Trent Grisham (2024)

Ben Rice (2024)

Spencer Jones (2026)

Cody Bellinger (2025)

Jasson Dominguez (9/1/2023)*

Jazz Chisholm jr (2024)

Jose Caballero (2025)

Ryan McMahon (2025)

Austin Wells (2023)*

Both Wells and Dominguez debuted on 9/1/23 in Houston so the Yankees batted first and Dominguez got his ml debut AB in the first inning (HR off Justin Verlander) and Wells got his debut when he took the field in the bottom of the first.

As someone who doesn't watch much baseball, I feel the need to ask. Like in the NBA, it's really rare for a contender to suddenly fall off after less than a year.

We're already 100+ games into a season. What's causing the Blue Jays to be last in their division and far from a playoff spot? Why are they struggling? Did Bo Bichette walking in free agency play a role in this?

Here's all the teams that followed up a World Series Game 7 loss between then & now and how they did the following season:

• 1992 Braves: 98-64
• 1998 Guardians: 89-73
• 2002 Yankees: 103-58
• 2003 Giants: 100-61
• 2012 Rangers: 93-69
• 2015 Royals: 95-67
• 2017 Guardians: 102-60
• 2018 Dodgers: 92-71
• 2020 Astros: 29-31
