The 2003 Blue Jays had 3 players in MVP contention (Delgado 2nd, Stewart 4th, Wells 8th) and a Cy Young award winner (Halladay) and still missed the post-season
Team went 86-76 behind the Yankees (101-61) and Red Sox (95-67). Looked at some old stats today and baffled how this team missed the postseason, but then looked at the bullpen/non-Halladay pitching stats and yeah, not surprised as much.
