With or without another big move, the Blue Jays are likely to be in the trade market

"The primary reason for this is that the Jays are in an enviable position of having "too many" viable MLB regulars. Of course, you can never have too many good players; however, they'll need to juggle spots on their 26-man roster once the regular season gets going, and they'll also want to be mindful of keeping positive vibes in their clubhouse."

"To do that, part of the job of an MLB manager is to make sure that their players are getting enough opportunities, especially when they have been earned through strong performances in the present, and in the case of the early part of the regular season schedule, what they contributed the year prior. For a Blue Jays team that came within inches of winning their third World Series title in franchise history, there are plenty of contributors who have earned those opportunities."

The Blue Jays remain active in free-agent pursuit, notably for Kyle Tucker, and could still acquire additional players before Opening Day. The team currently has more viable MLB regulars than roster spots, creating a need to move players to preserve playing time and clubhouse morale. Managerial duties include ensuring earned opportunities for current contributors based on recent performance and prior-season contributions. The club's most significant pending decision involves signing Tucker and possibly re-signing Bo Bichette, though Bichette appears less likely. Toronto's addition of Kazuma Okamoto strengthens the infield and suggests Ernie Clement will predominantly play second base while roster versatility remains valuable.
