Despite the loss of Edwin Encarnacion this offseason and potentially Jose Bautista, too, Blue Jays fans are still pumped for the 2017 season, and for good reason.
The team has been to the ALCS two straight times, they still have a very talented pitching staff that features Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez, and the guy that brings rain is still mashing baseballs in blue and white.
Needless to say, in light of the losses, there are still many positives for fans to take into the 2017 season.
Unfortunately the season is still a while away as we are in the middle of winter, but the team has been out and about on their Winter Tour of Canada.
Saturday, Aaron Sanchez, Kevin Pillar and Marco Estrada were in Edmonton and they got the chance to swap jerseys with some Oilers.
Estrada, Sanchez and Pillar also got to take in the team's morning skate ahead of their game against the Flames.
The Jays will be watching the Battle Of Alberta Saturday night before returning back to Toronto for the local part of the Winter Tour which starts on the 20th.
