The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up for a crucial off-season as free agency opens. With key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette potentially leaving next fall, the team must improve its roster to keep its core intact.
General Manager Ross Atkins faces immense pressure to enhance the lineup, particularly in the bullpen and starting rotation. The team has financial resources but lacks depth in minor-league prospects, complicating potential trades.
Free agents and non-tender candidates loom large, with decisions needed on players like Ryan Yarbrough and Jordan Romano. The Jays also need to fill gaps in the lineup, particularly in left field and third base, while monitoring significant market players like Juan Soto.
