When does the 2025 draft order get determined?
I've said many times that the 2021 Blue Jays team was one of the best Blue Jays teams ever. That said, I feel like Robbie Ray got a bit tired towards the end of the season after throwing close to 200 IP and striking out close to 250 batters. He had a fantastic year, but he seemed to lose some steam in September. For example, in a critical Sept. 30 game against the Yankees, he gave up 5 ER (4 HR) in 5.1 innings in a 6-2 loss. The Blue Jays went on to win the next three games (the last three games of the season) against Baltimore, but it wasn't quite enough and the team missed the playoffs by one game.
I'm not sure how well Ray would have held up in a long postseason run had the team made the playoffs. They did have an excellent offense, so they might have been able to go far nonetheless.
