7 d. ago What insiders are saying about Bo Bichette and his future with Toronto Blue Jays

Will he stay, or will he go?That's the number one question Toronto Blue Jays fans are asking when it comes to Bo Bichette. The 27-year-old shortstop is currently a free agent and in line to get a massive contract.By all accounts, the Blue Jays would love to have Bichette back. They are looking to build on their great season in hopes of another trip to the World Series, and have already bolstered their roster thanks to the free-agent signing of starting pitcher Dylan Cease.But will they get it done?One of the biggest questions is how badly Bichette wants to continue playing as a shortstop. Jon Morosi of MLB Network has reported that several interested teams view him as more of a second or third baseman. Early in free agency, the majority of interest in Bo Bichette is at shortstop.Other teams with incumbent shortstops have expressed interest in him at second base or third base.@MLBNetwork— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) November 11, 2025The Jays could allow Bichette ...

1 week ago Vladdy Jr. will earn more next year than entire payroll of 4 different MLB teams

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going to be making a boatload of money this coming season and for years beyond.The 26-year-old superstar agreed to a 14-year, $500-million extension with the Blue Jays this past April. The contract is set to begin this coming season and will continue through the 2039 season.This coming season will see Guerrero earn a whopping $40.2 million. That is third amongst all MLBers, with only Juan Soto ($61.87 million) and Zack Wheeler ($42 million) earning more.The fact that the Blue Jays were able to give so much money to Guerrero is a promising sign that the ownership group will continue to spend in order to improve this team. There are many other fan bases throughout the MLB that don't have the same fortune.While several teams across the league will make additions via free agency, there are currently four organizations that have less money committed to their entire roster than what Guerrero is set to make next season....

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays could lose multiple prospects to other teams soon

A few Toronto Blue Jays prospects might end up finding out the cruel realities of Major League Baseball in the coming months.This week, each of the 30 MLB teams had to sift through a Nov. 18 deadline to finalize which players will be on their 40-man roster for next season, or otherwise risk losing them to another club for the price of US$100,000.Each December, any player not listed on the 40-man roster that has been in the major league system for five years or longer (if signed before age 18) or four years or longer (if signed at 19 or older) is eligible to be scooped up for free in what's known as the Rule 5 draft, in reference to the MLB's rulebook.The draft order is done in reverse of the MLB standings, meaning Toronto will be near the bottom of the list and unlikely to have too much talent to add. Last year, 25 players were selected in the draft, with the Blue Jays picking up reliever Angel Bastardo.After being picked, any player drafted must be then placed on their...
