Toronto Blue Jays Free Agent & Trade Rumors, Notes, & Tidbits
The latest Toronto Blue Jays free agent and trade rumors, along with notes and tidbits about the team.
Jeff Passan of ESPN has reported that 23-year-old Roki Sasaki has narrowed his selection down to three teams: the two southern California teams are unsurprising but the fact that the third is Toronto is a pleasant surprise.
Sasak says he will make his decision in the next ten days.
Are we just setting ourselves up for disappointment again? (Editor's note: if you hear any mention of an airplane and/or flight to Toronto, turn away from your screen and save yourself).
Scott Mitchell is hearing "all-in" when it comes to the Blue Jays and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki. At some point, a Japanese player is going to have to choose a team other than the Los Angeles Dodgers and when that happens, why not the Blue Jays?

As has been reported previously, the Blue Jays made a formal offer to outfielder Anthony Santander. Details of the deal are not known but Santander was seeking five years earlier in the offseason while fellow corner outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, a similar player in many ways, signed in Los Angeles for only three seasons.
How much are the Jays and Santander off? Hard to say but it wouldn't be surprising to find out that the disagreement is over years more than dollars per year.

Francys Romero reported that teams are circling free agent third baseman Yoan Moncada as everyone waits for Alex Bregman to make a decision.
Moncada has had a career all too typical for recent White Sox prospects. He started off strongly, peaking with a 140 OPS+ in 2019, having another very good season in 2021, and then spiraling due to injuries afterward. He will enter his age-30 season in 2025.

Ari Alexander of the Houston-based NBC affiliate KPRC2, has reported that three teams appear to be in on the former Astros third baseman: the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Tigers are looking to spend and compete after a surprise postseason run in 2024 while the Red Sox have toyed with the idea of moving Rafael Devers off third base where his glove can be problematic. The Jays could use both Bregman's steady glove and solid power at the hot corner. It's always concerning to see a power righty come out of Houston given that the Crawford boxes are easy exploits for pull hitters. It turns out, Bregman actually hit slightly more career home runs on the road than he did at Minute Maid.

MLB Trade Rumors has reported that the Blue Jays are considered amongst "frontrunners" to sign outfielder Anthony Santander.
Yes, yes. I know.
The Jays have been in on several of the top free agents this winter but have yet to sign a prominent name, of which there are few remaining. Santander had a fantastic 2024 season, posting a 131 OPS+ for the Orioles. Earlier in the offseason, it was reported that Santander, who will play his age-30 season in 2025, was looking for a five-year contract. Fellow outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was recently re-signed by the Dodgers on a three-year contract, a far cry from the five years Santander is pursuing.
Several teams are interested in Santander, including the Yankees and Tigers.
