Jennings is going to get the Opening Day nod for the C's after a promising showing in the 2023 regular season and postseason. He is a part of an intriguing rotation alongside other names to know like Gallagher, Ohashi and Sanchez.

Rojas is the big name here, though. He ranked as high as eighth in Jays Journal's prospect rankings heading into this season and is said to have immense potential. Last year, he had a 3.75 ERA through 20 outings (15 starts), striking out 82 in 84 innings of work while walking 33 and allowing just eight home runs.

Bohrofen, the Blue Jays' sixth-round pick in last year's draft, hit .299 with seven home runs and 18 RBI in just 24 games last season post-draft. Scouts absolutely love him, and the Blue Jays do as well. He's 22-years old and might not stay in Vancouver very long if he can start the season on a strong note.
