Mark Eichhorn had a tumultuous road to the Majors, first making it in 1982, but shoulder issues kept him from another MLB Game until 1986.

Eichhorn found a role for the Jays in late relief, winning 24 Games from 1986 to 1988 and leading the American League in Games Pitched (89) in 1987).  Toronto retooled and sold his contract to Atlanta in 1989, but the then-Angel was traded back to Toronto before the 1992 Trade Deadline.  Eichhorn was used in middle relief, and he helped Toronto in their back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993.

Eichhorn left as a Free Agent for Baltimore after the second World Series, and the Pitcher threw in 279 Games with a 3.03 ERA.

Doyle Alexander arrived in Toronto as a Free Agent early in 1983, right after the Yankees released him.  The righthander was a crafty veteran and had already played 13 seasons with six different teams, and when the Blue Jays picked him up, it would not have surprised anyone if this was the end of the road for Alexander.  It wasn’t, and he was about to have the best run of his career.

Alexander finished ’83 7-6 with a 3.93 ERA, and proved that he could still contribute.  He then produced his best year to date, complimenting ace Dave Stieb with a 17-6 record and a 3.13 ERA, and he followed that with another 17-Win year, with a 3.45 ERA.  With Alexander as a key part, Toronto made their first playoff, and though he faltered against Kansas City in the ALCS, he was sixth in Cy Young voting, the first time he ever received votes for the coveted award. 

Alexander got off to a slow start in 1986, and he was traded to Atlanta for Duane Ward.  With the Jays, Alexander posted 46 Wins against 26 Losses with a 3.56 ERA.

Teoscar Hernandez played a handful of Games for the Houston Astros before the Dominican Outfielder was traded to the Blue Jays at the 2017 Trade Deadline.  Hernandez spent most of that year in AAA but would be in the Majors the following year, belting 22 Home Runs, though his Batting Average was only .239.  2019 was much of the same (26 HR, .230), but the COVID-shortened year 2020 was Hernandez' breakout.

In 50 Games, Hernandez had 16 Home Runs but raised his Batting Average to .289, winning the Silver Slugger and finishing 11th in MVP voting.  He kept that through a full year in 2021, smacking 32 Home Runs and 116 RBI and increasing his BA to .296 while going to his first All-Star Game and winning a Silver Slugger.  Hernandez had another post-season honor, as he was selected to the All-MLB 2 Team.  

Hernandez had another good year in 2022 (25 HR, .267), but the retooling Jays traded him to the Mariners in the off-season.  With Toronto, Hernandez had 129 Home Runs with a .263 Batting Average.

Marcus Stroman was considered one of Toronto's top prospects since he was a First Round Pick in 2012, and it only took him two years to make the Jays starting rotation.  It was a promising rookie year for Stroman, who went 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA and 111 Strikeouts, though a torn ACL in 2015 Spring Training hampered his growth.

The Blue Jays were an improving club in 2015, and Stroman was able to come back late in the season, winning all four of his decisions and helping Toronto reach the ALCS.  Stroman was not as good in 2016 (9-10, 4.37 ERA) but rebounded with a 13-9/164 SO/3.09 ERA year, where he also won the Gold Glove.  

The up-and-down career of Stroman continued, with an awful 2018 (4-9, 5.54 ERA), but he was much better in his first 21 Games in 2019, despite a losing record of 6-11, though he had a 2.96 ERA.  The 2019 Jays were not contenders, and Stroman was dealt to the Mets, ending Stroman's career with a 47-45 Record, 635 Strikeouts, and a 3.76 ERA.
