Blue Jays Face Critical Offseason Decisions

The Toronto Blue Jays faced a disappointing 2024 season, marked by 88 losses and significant injuries, despite a strong performance from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The team is under pressure to make substantial moves in the offseason, including potentially trading shortstop Bo Bichette, who struggled with injuries and production. Bichette, who has All-Star credentials and plays a premium position, could attract interest from teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers. Additionally, MLB insider Jim Bowden reports that the Tampa Bay Rays may play out of the Blue Jays' Spring Training Complex in Dunedin next season, as their home stadium, Tropicana Field, sustained extensive hurricane damage. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred expects the Rays to present a plan regarding their stadium situation before Christmas. The Blue Jays' offseason decisions are critical as both Guerrero and Bichette are eligible for free agency next fall.
