"According to the Fangraphs depth chart, the Blue Jays rank lower in shortstop ( 21st), centre field (18th), left field (16th), second base (15th) and third base (12th) this offseason, indicating that the team will have to bring in players who can boost their rankings to the top half by spring training, ideally. The depth chart reaffirms that not having an all-star like Bo Bichette has left a massive dent in Toronto's roster, proving that the Blue Jays can't remain complacent in bidding for well-rounded players."
"The Blue Jays have the choice to go all in: bringing all-star right fielder Kyle Tucker. Despite Tucker's inconsistent offensive performances with the Chicago Cubs in his walk year, the 28-year-old has been exceptional with the Houston Astros in the past, indicating that there is still potential for the outfielder to bounce back. Signing Tucker would immediately add dimension and depth to the Blue Jays' offence and outfield defence."
The Blue Jays finished the season with missed opportunities and lingering questions about whether stronger bench depth could have altered their World Series prospects. Fangraphs depth chart shows offseason rankings low at shortstop (21st), centre field (18th), left field (16th), second base (15th) and third base (12th), indicating a need to acquire players to reach the top half by spring training. The absence of an all-star like Bo Bichette has significantly weakened the roster and emphasized the importance of pursuing well-rounded players. The current free-agent market lacks superstars but presents an ideal chance for contenders to add quality bench and roster depth. High-profile targets considered include Kyle Tucker for outfield and power, and Pete Alonso as a potential DH/first-base acquisition that would require resolving a roster logjam with existing stars.
