"Baseball's hot stove is officially cooking. The off-season has picked up steam with front-office executives from all 30 teams gathered at this year's winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., and the Toronto Blue Jays are among those creating the loudest buzz. Even after signing free agents Dylan Cease (who'll be officially introduced on Tuesday) and Cody Ponce, the franchise continues to search for impact additions, particularly on the position-player and reliever fronts."
"According to Boston reporter Ari Alexander, members of the Red Sox brass recently held a Zoom call with Bichette, which reportedly had him coming away feeling impressed by the organization's pitch. It's unclear if the 27-year-old plans to meet with any other interested suitors in the future or has already done so. But it doesn't appear his market will be closing any time soon."
Front offices from all 30 teams met at the winter meetings in Orlando as offseason activity accelerates. The Toronto Blue Jays have added free-agent pitchers Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce but continue searching for impact position players and relievers. The club is a serious contender to either retain shortstop Bo Bichette or acquire outfielder Kyle Tucker, though acquiring both appears unlikely. Bichette held a Zoom meeting with Boston executives and reportedly left impressed, keeping his market active with multiple potential suitors. Boston has infield needs at second and third and retains flexibility with prospect Marcelo Mayer while considering other corner-infield options.
