In MLB, there is no specific recipe for winning: otherwise, every team would be applying it.
It’s as simple as that.
The things that work for some squads don’t work for others.
In the specific case of the Toronto Blue Jays, they seem to value experience.
At least that’s the main takeaway from a chat that infielder Cavan Biggio had with Blue Jays insider Keegan Matheson.
“Cavan Biggio on the value of experience and a tight clubhouse today: ‘We’ve got a lot of guys that have been to the postseason before, have had a lot of success in the postseason. And now’s the time to really lean on those guys and listen to what they have to say,’” he tweeted.

They say experience is the best teacher in life.
It can also apply to baseball.
Some organizations have had luck and success with a young, inexperienced and hungry roster.
The Blue Jays are kind of doing the opposite, relying on players who had been in these types of battles before.
For example, most of the roster (Biggio, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Kevin Gausman, Whit Merrifield, Hyun-Jin Ryu, and several others) were part of last year’s team that was swept by the Seattle Mariners in the Wild Card round.
They lost, but they learned a lot from that failure.
Then you have the veterans who have been to multiple postseasons such as George Springer, Matt Chapman, Chad Green, Chris Bassitt, Brandon Belt, and Jose Berrios.
Those are, per Biggio, the ones who they should be listening to these days.
