Part 2/13:
For years, the Toronto Blue Jays had been viewed as a cautious contender in the free-agent market, often linked to players as a secondary option or used as a placeholder in trade rumors. However, recent shifts indicate that the Jays are now a team that other franchises genuinely consider for impactful moves.
This change is largely due to their aggressive signings and the rising profile of their players. The team has already secured several major pieces this offseason, and rumors fly about their intentions to land marquee talents like Bo Bichette, who is widely expected to remain with Toronto. Blue Jays' management, notably Ross Atkins and Marsh Chapyro, appear to be leveraging their improved roster and recent success to attract bigger names.
