"If the early offseason rumours are to be trusted, the Blue Jays certainly appear to be interested in spending this offseason. After coming within a game of a World Series title, Ross Atkins and company will look to return even stronger for next year to hopefully return to the playoffs and beyond. When considering how aggressive a team should be in a given offseason, it's important to note how the best players in each free agent class compare to those in future years."
"Two of the top bats available will be Toronto's George Springer and Dalton Varsho, who the team could look to extend at some point this offseason. Some of the other top hitters that could be available include Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm Jr., J.P. Crawford, Ian Happ, Randy Arozarena, Gleyber Torres, and Max Muncy. While these players are solid big leaguers, they don't offer the star power and top-of-the-lineup presence that some of the sluggers available this year do."
The Blue Jays appear poised to spend in the offseason after finishing one game shy of a World Series title and will seek to return stronger next year. This free-agent class features several top-of-the-order bats including Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman, and Pete Alonso who offer significant upside. Next winter's hitting class lacks comparable star power, though George Springer and Dalton Varsho are notable Toronto-linked bats. The pitching market presents solid options such as Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez, and Dylan Cease, but likely no true aces; Brandon Woodruff accepted his qualifying offer from Milwaukee.
