Blue Jays: 5 breakout candidates to monitor in 2026
"Tucker Toman, drafted 77th overall in the 2022 draft, had a solid start to begin his career post-draft, slashing .289/.391/.368 in 46 plate appearances with the Florida Complex League Jays."
"Enmanuel Bonilla was signed to one of the largest IFA bonuses ($4.1 million) that the Jays have ever given out for the 2023 International Free Agency period."
"Toman started to show the promise he had when the Jays drafted him last season, slashing .265/.354/.372 with six home runs in 424 plate appearances."
"Bonilla had a strong campaign during the 2023 season with the Dominican Summer League Blue Jays, slashing .307/.407/.429 with three home runs in 226 plate appearances."
The farm system's progress is vital for the team's World Series aspirations. Tucker Toman, drafted 77th overall in 2022, showed initial promise but struggled in 2023 and 2024. He rebounded in 2025, slashing .265/.354/.372. Enmanuel Bonilla, signed for $4.1 million, excelled in the Dominican Summer League but faced challenges in subsequent seasons. Both players are key breakout candidates to monitor as they develop further in their careers, with Toman focusing on power and Bonilla aiming to adapt to higher levels of competition.
