Toronto Blue Jays Eye Major Offseason Moves

The Toronto Blue Jays, after a disappointing 2024 season with a 74-88 record, are aggressively pursuing free agents to improve their competitiveness for the 2025 season. They have been linked to Juan Soto and may pivot to acquiring Anthony Santander from the Orioles if Soto signs elsewhere, as Santander had a standout season with 44 home runs. Additionally, the Jays are rumored to be targeting Corbin Burnes, a four-time All-Star pitcher, with a potential seven-year, $225 million deal to strengthen their rotation. The team is also exploring a trade for Ryan Helsley, a top reliever from the St. Louis Cardinals, to bolster their bullpen. Furthermore, they are being considered a good fit to trade for Cody Bellinger from the Cubs, who could provide a significant upgrade to their outfield. Following a trade that brought them three top prospects for Yusei Kikuchi, the Blue Jays are in a favorable position to build a stronger roster moving forward.
