"It may take a little while for the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans to recover a bit after failing to land Kyle Tucker and bringing back Bo Bichette. After all, many believed that the Blue Jays could have capped off their impressive offseason with one more big splash. Adding Tucker or reuniting with Bichette would have added a difference maker back into the Toronto lineup heading into 2026, making them clear World Series favorites as a result."
"Without question Mason Miller has been one of the top closers in the entire MLB for the past couple of seasons. Equipped with a four-seam fastball that could hit triple digits along with a nasty slider, Miller has the capability to blow away hitters at will. It's no wonder why he had been ranked in the 100th percentile in the league in xBA, fastball velocity, whiff rate and strikeout rate in each of the past two years."
The Toronto Blue Jays missed opportunities to sign Kyle Tucker and to bring back Bo Bichette, losses that would have strengthened the lineup for 2026. The club can still pursue major trades to regain momentum and reinforce championship odds. One primary target is San Diego closer Mason Miller, who pairs a triple-digit four-seam fastball with a sharp slider and elite strikeout ability. Miller posted a career 2.81 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 246 strikeouts in 160 innings over three seasons, and would provide a dominant late-inning presence after the team’s recent save struggles.
