The Blue Jays have not yet had one of those. Our best and longest-serving players have gone to and/or come from elsewhere.

On Monday afternoon, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported that Santander is signing with Toronto. According to Ari Alexander, the deal is for five years, but Santander will have an opt-out after the third year.

And after a deadline trade from the Mets to the Rangers, Scherzer helped propel Texas into the playoffs, going 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA. In 2022, he was a full-on star, running a 2.2...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2252</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:04:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>So, The Blue Jays Now Have Myles Straw; Where Does He Fit In Toronto?</title><link>https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/so-the-blue-jays-now-have-myles-straw-where-does-he-fit-in-toronto-r2251/</link><description>The 30-year-old Myles Straw won a Gold Glove Award in 2022 and adds value with his baserunning and fielding abilities. Straw shines in center field, but will he be able to wake up his bat for an offense that needs some pep? This move overall is interesting and seems sensible enough for the Toron...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2251</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jan 2025 15:06:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>In A Frustrating Step Forward, Blue Jays Finish Second For Star Free Agent</title><link>https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/in-a-frustrating-step-forward-blue-jays-finish-second-for-star-free-agent-r2249/</link><description>Results are in for the Roki Sasaki Sweepstakes, and the incoming pitcher from Japan shocked no one by announcing that he will play for the Dodgers in 2025. The long offseason gave us plenty of time for rumours that falsely raised the hopes of Blue Jays fans everywhere.

That's not what I'm saying. The Blue Jays should do everything necessary to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to an extension. However, when you look at the Toronto roster, you see a team without a DH. You see a team with one reliable power bat in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2247</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jan 2025 11:53:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Blue Jays Trade PTBNL for Myles Straw, a Pile of Money, and a Different Pile of Money</title><link>https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-trade-ptbnl-for-myles-straw-a-pile-of-money-and-a-different-pile-of-money-r2248/</link><description>On Friday morning, just three hours after word spread that the Padres were no longer a possible destination for Roki Saski, the Blue Jays swung a move that could only be interpreted as a bid to bolster their chances of landing the ace.

Unlikely heroes can emerge at any point, unbreakable records can be shattered, and even Alejandro Kirk can make the impossible happen and hit a triple. It's part of the game's charm.

He might be longing for warmer weather, less income tax, or a different clubhouse vibe. We can&#x2019;t know what&#x2019;s in his heart and mind as...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2241</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:06:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Eight Bold Predictions for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025: Part Four</title><link>https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/eight-bold-predictions-for-the-toronto-blue-jays-in-2025-part-four-r2245/</link><description>Blue Jays fans!
