Blue Jays Have Shown Interest in Yoán Moncada

Sounds like Plan Z to me.

As a starting option given this teams aspirations after a World Series appearance, ew. As a utility infielder/bench option, not the end of the world. He still does have a bit of pop in his bat (12 HR's in 248 AB). Defensively, not sure he fits this FO's vision however. 

Run away Ross and don't look back. 

Guy has played his career for the f'ing White Sox and Angels.  Maybe playing for a contender will motivate him to bump it up a level.  107 wRC+ for his career.  I trust the FO.

Due diligence, kicking tires... yada yada

I have to kick my tires several times per day lately, to shake loose all the slush

I don’t think he’s terrible as a backup option. 

The only "Jays are linked to" rumor that I will ever believe is if it involves IKF. Everyone else is not noteworthy at all because 1) the Jays are linked to everyone, and 2) their moves usually come out of no where most of the time.

I know every big market team is linked to pretty much everyone but I think a lot of us still look at these rumours anyway. I say no thank you unless they miss out on all of the big bats but there are better options and I'm pretty sure the front office knows that. Besides we don't know what he's like as a person/teammate and that's my main concern. Maybe this makes me weird but I really don't care how good a player is if they're not a good team-oriented guy then I don't want the Jays to sign them. That's why I really hope they don't acquire Marte; he wouldn't "fit." Maybe I care too much about this but I really don't care.

Marte likely isn't good with reporters, hence the rumours. I'm sure they do their homework. Bo will sign here and it's all moot.

Is that what you're hearing from people you know? 

It’s far from a foregone conclusion that Bo will wind up here 

Boston 

LAD

Detroit 

All make sense to some degree. Even more teams get involved if he takes an Alex Bregman structure
