So, obviously, it’s about time that I get greedy and start looking at the next way I want them to improve the roster heading into 2026. In light of this recent Jon Morosi tweet suggesting the...2894Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:12:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/what-dylan-cease-brings-blue-jays-rotation/On November 26, news broke that the Toronto Blue Jays signed free agent Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract, pending the results of a physical.

The team’s glaring issue in the infield has been a lack of stability at third base since Matt Chapman left, along with a rotating door at second. Enter Nolan Arenado, a player...2887Mon, 01 Dec 2025 15:12:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/resigning-bo-bichette-not-top-priority/Last week, my boss here at DiamondCentric asked me to prepare “a truly killer piece” for the Monday after American Thanksgiving. Well, here goes. You’ve seen a lot of articles on our website about Bo Bichette lately. The general consensus?

Not ERA or OPS, but extra...2889Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:59:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/breaking-dylan-cease-blue-jays-agree-to-seven-year-contract-r2888/The Toronto Blue Jays are signing right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease for $210 million over seven years.  That’s right, the first big splash of the offseason belongs to the Blue Jays.

He said that was part of the rationale for trading for Andrés Giménez, who was destined to be the team’s shortstop of the future....2884Wed, 26 Nov 2025 19:53:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/corner-infield-depth-check-2026/Adding roster depth doesn't always lead to the sexiest moves of the offseason, but as the Blue Jays showed last season, it is absolutely crucial to building a dominant team. Small moves like signing Eric Lauer to a minor league deal, adding Myles Straw in a minor trade, and claiming Tyler Heinem...2881Wed, 26 Nov 2025 11:58:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/sign-bichette-what-should-jays-prioritize-next/With Bo Bichette declining Toronto's one-year qualifying offer, the team can now begin to negotiate with his camp, alongside several other interested teams across Major League Baseball.
