"The Toronto Blue Jays only won one Gold Glove award this season despite having six finalists (technically five, Clement was a finalist at 3B and UTIL), and the only winner was Ty France at first base who only played the position for the Blue Jays in 23 games this season."
"Toronto led all teams in Defensive Runs Above Average (DEF) according to FanGraphs (38.7) while the Rangers ranked eighth (18.5). In terms of team Fielding Run Value (FRV), the Blue Jays yet again lead the field with a +44 FRV while the Rangers' +22 FRV sits in fifth (3rd in AL)."
"In terms of defensive runs saved (DRS), Texas was the best in all of MLB with a mark of 89 while Toronto's 59 DRS sits them in fourth place (2nd in AL). DRS takes into account a team's ability to prevent run scoring above/below the average player at each given position. These numbers are then totalled and the given DRS total is the sum of a team's performance in comparison to the league average."
