Well, with Spring just starting up the Jays lose a couple of guys for most/all of 2026.

Wow. Dodgers just have an unlimited budget I guess.

Well, Alex Bregman is no longer an option, he is a Cub.

So another free agent signed, but now it is hitting the 'what does this mean for Bo & Tucker' stage.

Time to dig into where things are at for the AL East imo. Plus the old thread is getting a bit long.

So another pitcher added (Ponce) as the rotation is now 6+ strong. What is going on? Are the Jays doing a Dodgers where you try to corner the market on starting pitchers?  Doubtful. Let's see what is here now.

OK, I'll avoid more puns. 7 years $210 mil with a chunk deferred reducing the present day value to $182 mil ($26 mil per year)

The Jays are not winning the offseason at this stage, but can add parts to win the East still. Needs are a DH and a 3B (ideally DH is LH) and maybe a 4th OF if you don't trust Schneider/Biggio/kids to cover that. With the old thread well over 200 comments, time for a new one.

Trades are happening and the game thread is filling up so lets do a deadline day thread.

Well, the last one is getting long and time to focus on what else the Jays need as we head into Christmas.

Well, things going nuts in the one thread so we need a clean one, especially for big news like this.

Ray won the Cy Young, but Vlad came in 2nd for MVP.  More details below on how the Jays did in the various awards.
