"The good news out of all of this? This does not mean the season is over. Of course, the season hasn't even started yet. In past off-seasons, the team has made moves that have come out of nowhere to surprise the fanbase. Such examples include signing Max Scherzer last season in early February, signing Marcus Semien to a 1-year contract back in January 2021, even signing Hyun Jin Ryu and George Springer in 2019 and 2020, respectively, which came out of nowhere."
"Let's address the number one remaining free agent on the market, Cody Bellinger. The 30-year-old left-handed outfielder is coming off an impressive season with the Yankees, as he finished second on the team in RBIs (98) and fourth on the team in home runs (29). Bellinger also had the highest OPS (.813) and was second in WAR (5.1) behind only Aaron Judge. This past season, Bellinger also obliterated left-handed pitchers as he hit .353 against them with eight home runs and 36 RBIs."
Blue Jays fans experienced disappointment after Kyle Tucker signed with the Dodgers and Bo Bichette signed with the New York Mets, as Toronto reportedly pursued both until the end but lost out. The offseason remains active and the team has a history of surprise acquisitions, including Max Scherzer, Marcus Semien, Hyun Jin Ryu and George Springer. Cody Bellinger is the top remaining free agent, a 30-year-old left-handed outfielder coming off a strong season with the Yankees: 98 RBIs, 29 home runs, .813 OPS and 5.1 WAR. Bellinger hit .353 versus left-handed pitching, but his market demands are expected to be high.
