did not expect that, or at Least not at this point in the off season
Cease is a SO machine. Great Start to the Jays 2026 seasonJays sign Dylan Cease to a 7 year $210 deal.
A little high, but hes a good top end pitcher.It’s indeed high. He’s a great pitcher but another right hand. Would prefer they spent the money on a LHP. But if the Jays are going to spend money, great, just keep adding arms and weapons.
Still need a LHP and a closer. Trade Berrios to clear some salary.
I could tucker getting 10 years but I dont see Bo getting 10. I think 7 x 27m is pretty accurate.
Bo’s fielding is pretty average and the Jays could easily replace it.
I think its either tucker or Bo plus a quality SP and Bassitt as RP
Maybe the jays sign a cheap bat as well.
Id be fine with signing Tucker and trading for ketel marte depending on cost.I just dont ever want to see Santander play the field again.
Santander should bounce back, the thing with him is hes a free 30hr bat they didnt even need to get to the WS. him in the field is tough to watch, but we have been spoiled with the Jays great D.
assuming hes healthy, I think he has a good season.Would you rather

4.5 warhttps://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/available/_/year/2026
Spotrac has Tucker at 40 million a season and Bo at 23 million. Schwarber at 25 million is more comparable for price.
If that’s the case, I’d rather take Bo and Schwarber for 8 million more than one Tucker.
Players have also been getting 10+ year deals lately, so less than 10 years seems less likely.
I’d say the idea of signing free agents (especially the ones who have direct ties to current Jays through international play) is a lot less of a fantasy than pulling trades for Skubal and other all-stars.
Spending 100 million extra on pay roll might indeed be the fantasy but the entire run last year was a fantasy so why shouldn’t Rogers indulge their fans with a big investment if they were that close to winning it all? Expecting to win a World Series by running it back with the exact same team, while the Dodgers and other contenders will continue to load up, is the fantasy.
Edwin Diaz and AJ Puk are reasonable suggestions, I just don’t see them as connected or as effective as other options.
Kyle Tucker, because he is the #1 prize and is as great as he is, is going to cost the Jays between 45-60 million a season to sign. He’s a great player. But he’s far away from what the Jays need to improve upon. They already had the #1 offense in the MLB. Signing some reinforcements to protect from regression makes a lot more sense than trying to sign a guy who would be making even more money than Vlad.
Trent Grisham is a gamble, yes and I’d be open to signing any other power hitting left bat out there with this toolbox, but there aren’t that many available. I’d sign Kyle Schwarber but he’s going to cost twice as much and is in the same price zone as Tucker. Do the Jays really need him? It’d be nice but the payroll isn’t unlimited. Some type of cost analysis still needs to be considered.
If maintaining his career high season is the question mark, the Jays coaches have taken literal minor leaguers and made them contributors. Part of that is they caught lightning in a bottle and a bit of luck but if those coaches can stabilize Grisham, you’d be taking a reasonable gamble if his salary comes within a reasonable range.
The Jays could manage with or without Grisham. It’d be a potential upgrade to the ranks. What they definitely need is to retain their core pieces and add an ace lefty and a surefire closer. After that, the rest would be welcomed gravy.
Dream on loser and bad choices
Come up with something better dipshit.
Oh in the fantasy world that you live in where making moves are so easy. I mean hell the GMs never think about your ideas. But if we are playing MLB the Show.
Trade for Skubal. Rumors are he is available.
Sign Edwin Diaz and AJ Puk (lefty)
May as well get Tucker and re-sign BoTrade for a couple of all stars at the deadline.
I know I know…. unpossible, only your dreams make sense. PS Grisham is a terrible gamble.
