"Good Things Come to Those Who Wait Patience is truly a virtue in the off-season. Unlike other professional sports, MLB's off-season is usually a slow burn. It takes several weeks, even months in some years, for the hot stove to transform from a quiet sizzle into a blazing hot mess. For most, staying disciplined is usually the best course of action."
"Alright, let's use last winter as an example. Here are some of the free agents who signed contracts with new teams in November 2024: Blake Snell, Yusei Kikuchi, Kyle Hendricks, Brent Suter, T.J. McFarland, Justin Wilson, Travis d'Arnaud, Kevin Newman, Austin Slater, Jacob Stallings and Kyle Farmer. Additionally, here are the notable players traded during that month: Jonathan India, Brady Singer, Joey Wiemer, Eli Morgan, Jose Siri and Taylor Trammell."
One month after losing Game 7 of the World Series, the Blue Jays have not yet begun significant roster construction and remain in an information-gathering phase with the Winter Meetings approaching on Dec. 8-11. General manager Ross Atkins' history suggests transaction activity could accelerate once the front office completes its evaluation. Patience is emphasized because MLB off-seasons often start slowly and escalate over weeks or months. Last November's transactions included several free-agent signings (Blake Snell, Yusei Kikuchi, Kyle Hendricks and others) and notable trades (Jonathan India, Brady Singer, Joey Wiemer, Eli Morgan), mostly involving depth pieces rather than game-changing additions.
