A new report from The Athletic indicated that Shohei Ohtani left his free agent meeting with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023 with a ton of team gear, only for the superstar to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Toronto Blue Jays attempts to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have not gone according to plan so far. The Toronto Blue Jays have about a month to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr., as the third baseman and his representation have set a tentative deadline for the start of spring training to agree to a new contract.
The Blue Jays are reportedly interested in both Anthony Santander and Pete Alonso, but Santander is a better fit. Toronto knows exactly what he's capable of after starring for the Baltimore Orioles. The slugger has gone deep 105 times over the last three seasons and crushed a career-high 44 homers last year.
The Blue Jays have been tied to Anthony Santander as much as any team in recent weeks. While there’s still no agreement in place, Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet report that the Jays’ talks with the free agent slugger “picked up” this morning.
The Toronto Blue Jays may end up trading Vladimir Guerrero Jr. this winter and the San Francisco Giants are a perfect landing spot.
For Dodgers fans, it’s cause for celebration. For the rest of the league, it’s a disappointing conclusion and another reason to gripe and groan about the growing might of MLB’s new evil empire.
Right-hander Roki Sasaki, the covered Japanese free agent, has whittled down a list of suitors to two finalists, according to a report by veteran MLB reporter Francys Romero. Sasaki eliminated the San Diego Padres and will choose between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, the report claims.
The Padres have reportedly been eliminated as a destination for the Japanese right-hander. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays traded for additional international bonus pool money.
The San Diego Padres could end up being dark horse candidates to acquire Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Toronto Blue Jays were unable to land top free agent Roki Sasaki, which puts Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s future in more doubt than ever.
"I'm sorry, Toronto." That's how ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan summed up yet another failed Toronto Blue Jays free agent pursuit. The culprit this time?
