It is the largest free agent contract they have ever given out, surpassing George Springer's deal. Manager John Schneider played a role in the entire process. He may not have forced the f...2924Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:51:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/why-ha-seong-kim-is-the-ideal-replacement-for-bo-bichette-r2917/The Blue Jays might lose an opportunity if they continue to wait on Bo Bichette to make a decision. In all likelihood, both sides know each other’s valuations and are mulling the “what ifs”. One “what if” for the Jays is exploring alternatives. Much has been made of moving Andrés Giménez to...2917Tue, 09 Dec 2025 14:53:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/jose-berrios-problem-rotation-bullpen-trade/When the Blue Jays made the first big splash of the offseason by signing Dylan Cease, it was understandably the talk of the town. One curious thing I noted in the early discussions was the framing of the potential Toronto rotation. The most egregious (in my opinion) came from a TSN Instagram pos...2921Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:51:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/depth-check-the-blue-jays-at-the-middle-infield-spots-in-2026-r2915/Last month, Jesse Burrill looked at the Blue Jays’ depth on the corners. Today, I’ll be looking at the middle infield options throughout the organization. In 2025, 10 different Blue Jays took a turn at either second or short, with half of them spending time on both sides of the keystone. As much...2915Mon, 08 Dec 2025 11:59:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-outright-yariel-rodriguez-in-move-that-signals-more-may-be-coming-r2918/The Blue Jays certainly mean business this offseason. In a surprising move, the team has announced that RHP Yariel Rodriguez has been outrighted from their 40-man roster. Toronto now sits with 38 players on the roster, with the Cody Ponce signing still pending. Rodriguez, a Cuban nativ...2918Sun, 07 Dec 2025 13:13:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-most-significant-winter-meetings-acquisitions/The Winter Meetings will be held in Orlando, Florida, from December 7-10 this offseason. This time period is often when major signings and trades occur, as all 30 MLB teams send representatives, including owners, executives, and managers. Players, their agents, and media also attend.

Whether it be one of the very top free agents, i.e., Kyle Tucker, or one just a tier below, like Cody Bellinger, those are two outfield bats th...2886Sat, 06 Dec 2025 15:10:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/addressing-inconsistent-bullpen-is-biggest-key-to-blue-jays-offseason-r2899/There were big stops in key situations throughout the 2025 season as a result of John Schneider turning the ball over to the bullpen, but there might have been an equal number of hiccups. The 2025 bullpen was arguably overworked during the regular season, and it showed during the postseason.

If fans were impressed by Ernie Clement last season, Donovan has the potential to outperform that output and then some from the other side of the plate. A career .287 hitter with a .353 on-base percentage, he...2911Fri, 05 Dec 2025 15:12:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/should-carlos-delgado-be-hall-of-famer/There are two ways former MLB players can be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The first is the annual election conducted by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (“BBWAA”). The second is selection by an Era Committee, formerly known as the Veterans Committee.

The Yankees’ No. 5 and the overall 59th-ranked prospect (per Baseball America) burst onto the scene for the Bronx Bombers with a breakout rookie campaign in 2018 that saw him go yard 27 times, drive in 92 runs, and put up a wRC+ of...2906Thu, 04 Dec 2025 17:02:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/still-afford-resign-bo-bichette-after-dylan-cease/The Toronto Blue Jays shocked the MLB world the night before American Thanksgiving by signing Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract.
