"After losing in heartbreaking fashion in Game 7 of the World Series last fall, the franchise hasn't hit the brake pedal since transitioning to the off-season, building off the incredible momentum sparked by their magical post-season run with a trio of aggressive free-agent signings - first Dylan Cease, then Cody Ponce and most recently Tyler Rogers. All three moves have drastically enhanced the pitching staff's outlook for next season, bolstering what's slated to be one of the deepest rotation-and-bullpen combos across basebal l."
"The Blue Jays' front office will surely continue spending into the New Year, narrowing its sights on improving a lineup that features franchise cornerstone Vladimir Guerrero Jr., along with George Springer, Alejandro Kirk, Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger, and a returning Anthony Santander - who missed most of 2025 due to multiple injuries. Whether that'll result in bringing back Bo Bichette or making another free-agent splash with Kyle Tucker, arguably the best player available from this year's crop,"
Toronto committed three major free-agent pitchers — Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers — dramatically improving starting rotation and bullpen depth. The organization has pledged $277 million on those signings, excluding Shane Bieber's $16 million option, nearly doubling last winter's $156 million in free-agent commitments. Additional spending is anticipated to upgrade the lineup around Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, Alejandro Kirk, Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger and an expected return of Anthony Santander. Decisions include pursuing Bo Bichette or top free agent Kyle Tucker, or targeting Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman, or trade alternatives. Toronto also claimed reliever Spencer Miles in the Rule 5 draft and will open a 40-man spot after Rogers' deal is finalized.
