"The current Toronto Blue Jays offseason appears to be centered around whether the Blue Jays can re-sign Bo Bichette, or if they can trade for Ketel Marte to address their infield heading into the 2026 season. After all, there aren't too many infielders that could produce at such an elite rate as both players have done throughout their careers. But what happens if the Blue Jays fails to get Bichette or Marte this offseason?"
"However, the main caveat for the 31-year-old infielder is exactly that, his injury history and health. Over his eight years in the majors, Lowe has only managed to play more than 110 games twice, with a career-high 149 in 2021 and 134 just last season. Nevertheless, if he can put those injury issues officially behind him, Lowe can provide unexpected value as a valuable lefty in the Jays' lineup."
Toronto's offseason centers on re-signing Bo Bichette or trading for Ketel Marte to solidify the infield for 2026. If neither move materializes, the team can pursue alternate trade targets to replace elite production. Brandon Lowe offers left-handed power and run production when healthy, with career numbers that project to roughly 90 runs, 34 homers and 97 RBIs per 162 games. Lowe's primary drawback is an extensive injury history, having played more than 110 games only twice in eight MLB seasons. Jeff McNeil provides contact ability, versatility and a track record as a two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger, offering steady runs and extra-base hits despite recent decline.
