The Toronto Blue Jays continue to struggle offensively, leading to significant roster changes. After a year and a half of offensive struggles, the team remains outside of a playoff spot. The Blue Jays recently cut ties with Daniel Vogelbach following a tough start to the season, and also parted ways with Cavan Biggio. These moves serve as a warning to other underperforming veterans, as the team cannot afford to wait for improvements. In their latest game, the Blue Jays scored just one run on three hits against the Cleveland Guardians, with Logan Allen leaving pitches to hit that they failed to capitalize on. The team, currently in the bottom five for runs scored and home runs this year, faces a critical decision: stay the course or make further changes to the roster. Frank Zicarelli noted that time is ticking down for the Blue Jays' beleaguered bats to come alive. The offensive struggles were evident in the first game of the weekend series against the Guardians.

As long as the Blue Jays' veterans continue to struggle at the plate, the question persists: stay the course expecting better results, or respond to what’s happening on the field with further changes? @bnicholsonsmith takes a look at Toronto's options ⤵️ https://t.co/foauKy90SO

Offensive struggles continue for Blue Jays, who scored just one run on three hits today. Logan Allen left them some pitches to hit. Jays just didn't hit them. Bottom-five team in runs scored and home runs this year.
The departures of Biggio/Vogelbach, combined with the arrival of the boys from Buffalo, should serve as a warning to the other underperforming #BlueJays vets. Start producing or the number of at-bats will go down. Jays can't wait around any longer: https://t.co/IbYYuYKFd0

After a year and a half of struggles, the Blue Jays are still searching for an identity on offence. Toronto’s batters don’t hit for power, and they aren’t adept at playing small ball either. It's why they're on the outside of a playoff spot. #Opinion https://t.co/TeOtJVMKRu
