We can't ignore what the Blue Jays have done this winter, making splashes with starting pitchers Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce and high-leverage reliever Tyler Rogers. We're still waiting to see if they can reunite with free agent Bo Bichette, sign Alex Bregman, or really go big by signing Kyle Tucker. Blue Jays will have to watch their back with Orioles preparing to make waves in AL East in 2026

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic condensing the season, fans didn't get to see much of Shaw in a Jays uniform. He would be the Jays' Opening Day third baseman that season. Across his lone campaign with Toronto, which was spent entirely south of the border due to the pandemic, Shaw crafted a .239/.306/.411 slash line with six home runs, 17 RBIs, and 10 doubles to the tune of a .717 OPS.

Jimenez initially signed with the Blue Jays in 2017 out of Panama, slowly working his way up the organizational ladder. He has been featured among the Blue Jays' top prospect lists in each of his professional seasons, topping out as the 5th-ranked prospect (per MLB Pipeline) in 2022. Known more for his shortstop defence than his offensive game, the right-handed hitter reached the big leagues in 2024, slashing .229/.329/.358 in a 63-game sample.

Last year, the Blue Jays practically fell flat with their worst performance during this part of the decade when they finished dead last in the American League East with a 74-88 record. Not only that, many of their stars were underperforming while they had a mass exodus of players at the trade deadline just hoping that they could acquire some key pieces to help their future.

Take this one with a grain of salt, but for what it's worth, one reporter has thrown out the Toronto Blue Jays as being among the teams having interest in a guy who was, at one time, the top prospect in baseball. Reporter Francys Romero has tweeted that third baseman Yoan Moncada is someone the Blue Jays have been interested in.

We aren't even halfway through the MLB offseason, and Toronto Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins has already made it one to remember. With decisive moves and clear intent among a window that's been opened for a few years now, the Blue Jays have positioned themselves early as one of baseball's offseason winners, directly competing with a dark horse American East team for the top spot, the Baltimore Orioles.

When you make Game 7 of the World Series and come within two outs of winning a title, odds are a lot of your players had a really good postseason. Such is the case for the Toronto Blue Jays, who came agonizingly close to toppling the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Fall Classic. From Trey Yesavage's rookie breakout in October to Max Scherzer's tremendous Game 7 start, a lot of players stepped up to bring the Jays to the cusp of glory.

It's safe to say that the Jays exceeded expectations last year, finishing in a tie for the division lead, which they won due to holding the tiebreaker over the Yankees. The club utilized their strengths in the lineup under new hitting coach David Popkins to keep passing the baton down the order, whittling down opposing starters and bullpen options while the pitching staff was striking out opposing bats regularly.

Donovan won't fill the power void, but an Anthony Santander bounce-back could be the answer to increasing power production. Over Donovan's four-year career, he's hit 40 home runs and knocked in 202 runs. Donovan has averaged a .772 OPS, a 0.67 walk-to-strikeout ratio, and his lowest wRC+ is 115. The 28-year-old has been great at getting on base and has been relatively healthy, playing in at least 115 games in three of his four big league seasons.

Major League Baseball revealed its 2025 post-season bonus pool for players on Thursday, with the back-to-back World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers earning 36 per cent ($46.15 million) of the total $128.2 million pool, per Sportico's report. The Toronto Blue Jays, who were dealt a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 of the World Series at Rogers Centre last month, received 24 per cent ($30.76 million) of the post-season bonus pool.

I can watch an entire movie, I can watch the Clone Wars animation, I can watch the Lego's or the Ahsoka (series). I have a tattoo of Star Wars that I love. It's why I chose the jersey number 30 last year, because my initials are CP, so it would be CP 30, the revers of C-3P0. So, yeah, I love Star Wars.
