Since we’re coming to the end of the decade in a few months, lets look back at the greatest Blue Jays to put on the uniform from 2010-2019.

I saw an inspirational post the other day that said, “you have less than three months left in this decade. Make ’em count”. Since I can’t remember setting any specific goals for the 2010’s, let’s just say I’ve already accomplished them and say we’re good here.

However, it did get me thinking about how much my life has changed over the last decade, and that inevitably got me thinking about baseball, and then, how much things have changed for my beloved Toronto Blue Jays. The last ten years have brought futility in the early years, the end of a playoff drought in the middle, and the start of a new rebuild to finish off the decade.

It also got me thinking about the best players to put on a Blue Jays uniform over that timeframe, and what that team might look like if you assembled a group of the best of them. So, I decided to go ahead and do just that.

Naturally there are a lot of players from those 2015-16 playoff teams, but I think some of you will be surprised to see a few names pop up on this imaginary All-Star team I’ve created here. There’s no scientific system to how they were selected either, although I have highlighted their best season by bWAR to at least show some justification.

So without further adieu, who were the best Blue Jays of the last 10 years? Let’s have a look at a team made up of ’em.
