Locked On Blue Jays

Tuesday was one of the craziest days of the off-season; especially if your team is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays signed Yimi Garcia, found out their draft pick for the 2025 MLB Draft, and made a massive trade all in one day. The Blue Jays acquired Andres Gimenez and Nick Sandlin in exchange for Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell, as this was an unexpected move trading for another player with elite defense as their strongest attribute. How will this affect the Blue Jays? What position will he play? Will this be the “big move” of the off-season? Did the Blue Jays win this trade? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

It has been just over 24 hours since the Juan Soto news broke, and we have had some time to digest what happened. Juan Soto has signed with the New York Mets, which was the best-case scenario if he was not going to sign with the Toronto Blue Jays. It was never likely, but we discussed our thoughts and perspectives on the situation and how the Blue Jays should pivot this free agency. There are still many big-name free agents on the board, and the Blue Jays should have the money to bring in impactful changes to jumpstart this franchise for 2025. How are we feeling after these Juan Soto Sweepstakes? Who should the Blue Jays look to target in free agency? How many signings will they make? Can Ross Atkins make the right moves and set this team up for success? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

Ha Seong Kim is an intriguing name, and the Blue Jays could consider it this off-season. He is coming off a major shoulder injury, so the price tag should be lower than expected. Ha Seong Kim feels like a Blue Jays signing, as his strength is his defense, and he does not strike out a ton. This is the mold the Blue Jays typically look for in a player. Kim would slot as either the full-time second or third baseman, as he has succeeded at both positions in his career. Would Ha Seong Kim be a good fit for the Blue Jays? What would his contract look like? Is this the game-changer the Blue Jays are looking for? What would this mean for the other infielders on the Blue Jays roster? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

Ross Atkins had a press conference with members of the Toronto chapter of the BBWAA to discuss his off-season plan, Juan Soto updates, fan expectations and even updates on why Jordan Romano was non- tendered.

There have started to be rumours about a reunion in Toronto for the upcoming season, as Teoscar Hernandez has been linked to the Toronto Blue Jays. This is if the Blue Jays cannot land superstar Juan Soto this off-season, but Teoscar Hernandez would be a great backup plan. Teoscar Hernandez is a fan favourite among Blue Jays fans and is known to be a reliable middle-of-the-order bat in the league. Teoscar is coming off a season where he hit the most home runs of his career, so the price tag may still be high for the silver slugger. Are the Blue Jays a likely landing spot for Teoscar Hernadez? What would his contract look like? Would a reunion be good for the Blue Jays future?

With the trade rumours heating up about some of the younger players within the Blue Jays organization, we decided to talk about their prospect rankings and some players who could go on to have great MLB careers. The Blue Jays prospect system is very thin, but some players have major upside and could have an impact on this upcoming season. Who are the best prospects? Which players could see at-bats in 2025? How does the Blue Jays prospect system rank compared to other teams in the AL East?

This may be the biggest Juan Soto update episode we have done all offseason. There was a false Red Sox report stating Juan Soto had signed with the team, which seemed eerily similar to the Shohei Ohtani reports related to the Blue Jays last off-season. Another massive slew of reports came in stating the Blue Jays are rumoured to be willing to dish out the largest contract out of all the teams involved in the Soto sweepstakes. Many reports have outlined that Juan Soto will decide where he wants to play within the next 10 days, so these next two weeks should be fun. What happened with the false Red Sox reporting? What was the Blue Jays offer to Juan Soto? What have other teams offered Soto? What does Juan Soto value the most when outlining the specifics of his contract? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

We are back with another free-agent episode. Willy Adames has been linked to the Toronto Blue Jays by multiple reporters, stating that he would most likely play third base if he decides to sign in Toronto. Adames had the best season of his career last season, having 32 home runs which would have led the Blue Jays last season. Willy Adames would be an impactful middle-of-the-order power bat that could be the key to bolstering the Jays' offence in 2025. Will Willy Adames sign with the Toronto Blue Jays? What would this mean for Bo Bichette? How much would his contract be? Can Adames continue to build on the numbers he put up last season?

The Toronto Blue Jays have emerged as the front runners to land star outfielder Anthony Santander. The #1 priority among Jays fans is landing Juan Soto, but this would be an excellent consolation prize and allow Toronto to address multiple positions of need. Coming off the best season of his career, teams may need to overpay to land the outfielder or sign a long-term deal, as Santander looks to capitalize on his 44 home run season. The Blue Jays desperately need a power bat to complement Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Bo Bichette in this lineup. Would Santander be a good fit? Would we be comfortable signing Santander long-term? Is there a realistic chance he will sign with the Blue Jays? What can we expect from Anthony Santander next season?

Today we dive into the Toronto Blue Jays General Manager, Ross Atkins. This is a massive off-season for Ross Atkins, coming off a very disappointing and underwhelming 2024 season. The Blue Jays have not won a playoff game since 2016, which is usually a clear-cut sign that things are not going well within an organization. Many insiders have said this could be the last off-season for Atkins if things don’t go well once again. How confident are you in Ross Atkins? Do you think he should have been brought back for 2025? How many moves will he make in Free Agency? Can he finally set the Blue Jays up for success?

Today we break down the roller coaster that Davis Schneider’s MLB career has been through his first season and a half. Davis came into the league with a bang, setting records through his first 25 games. He continued this hot start in the first two months of the 2024 season, but as opposing teams got his scouting report, things started to go downhill. In this episode, we analyze what went wrong for Davis Schneider and how he fits into the Blue Jays plans for 2025. Will Davis Schneider make the opening-day roster? Can Davis Schneider catch some of that fire he had in 2023? Is Davis Schneider a possible trade piece?

The non-tender deadline has officially passed. The biggest news from this is Jordan Romano has been non-tendered, making him a free agent. Jordan Romano suffered an elbow impingement last season, which resulted in Romano only throwing 13.2 innings for the Blue Jays in 2024. Dillon Tate was also non-tendered, with these two players saving the Blue Jays around 9.7 million dollars for this upcoming season. Why did the Blue Jays non-tender Jordan Romano? What does the Blue Jays bullpen look like now? Who are the Blue Jays going to replace these bullpen arms with?

Today we talk about an interesting player on the Blue Jays. Addison Barger is what many would call a “raw” prospect. He has the power and the arm strength to be a successful MLB player, but he needs to work on some technical things defensively and with his swing to stay more consistent. Addison Barger is one of the Blue Jays' many fringe MLB talents, and he will have to work in the off-season and spring training if he wants to crack the Jays opening roster. We also go into some listener questions at the end of the episode, answering questions and commenting on statements made by our viewers that address many of the concerns the Blue Jays have going into next season.

Many people have speculated that the Toronto Blue Jays will pull the trigger on a trade at some point this offseason. With so many needs and a limited budget with the luxury tax, the Jays could move on from a few of their fringe MLB players to try to bolster a specific position group at a discounted price. The Blue Jays have a plethora of middle infielders and have demonstrated that they intend to compete in 2025, so this could be a sign to make a big move this free agency. In this episode, we break down which prospects/fringe MLB players could be on the move, and who the Jays could look to get in return. Should the Blue Jays consider a trade? Who would you be comfortable moving? Who should the Blue Jays target in a trade acquisition? We cover all this and more on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

Multiple analysts have linked the Toronto Blue Jays to Paul Goldschmidt as we approach free agency. The Blue Jays are desperate for a power bat, and Paul Goldschmidt fits that description. However, many Blue Jays fans would not get on board with signing another free agent nearing the end of their career. With Goldschmidt coming off his worst season in the big leagues, it may be hard for the Blue Jays front office to get people excited about this move. Would Paul Goldschmidt be a good fit for the Toronto Blue Jays? Would you be worried about Goldschmidt regressing even further next season? Would this signing take away other possible moves?

Today, we continue with our player profiles with two players who have not had much major league experience: Joey Loperfido and Brendon Little. Joey Loperfido was slightly disappointing in his short time with the Blue Jays, while Brendon Little made big strides in the bullpen, being one of the only relievers down the stretch the Blue Jays could rely on. In this episode, we break down the 2024 seasons of Joey Loperfido and Brendon Little, our expectations going into the season, and how we think they will fit into the 2025 roster.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been linked to another free agent, and this one is a little bit of a surprise. The Blue Jays are the favorite to land Max Fried, a strong left-handed pitcher from the Atlanta Braves. There is no question that Max Fried is a great starting pitcher, one of the better lefties in the league, the question marks are regarding the Blue Jays positional needs within the bats and bullpen. How good is Max Fried? What would a contract look like? Should the Blue Jays prioritize starting pitching? We answer all these questions and more on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.
