This is WAY more real than we thought...

Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins says he's more confident than ever after the GM Meetings, and Ken Rosenthal says the Jays must be taken seriously for Tarik Skubal. The Toronto Blue Jays finished last in the AL East at 79-83, yet Ross Atkins left Las Vegas "more confident than I did four days ago" and called Toronto "a very attractive destination." Ken Rosenthal says the Jays "absolutely have to be taken seriously" in the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes, and that even if it isn't Skubal, he expects them to land one of the big names. We break down every target: Skubal's free agency and his reported $325M ask, Seiya Suzuki turning down the Cubs' qualifying offer, the Ketel Marte trade talks with the Diamondbacks, and NPB Triple Crown winner Teruaki Sato.

Teams are calling the Blue Jays about catcher Brandon Valenzuela, with the Reds interested before, and Davis Schneider is drawing trade interest too. Brandon Valenzuela was the 2nd best pitch framer in MLB in 2026 and a Gold Glove finalist as Alejandro Kirk's backup, and The Athletic's Mitch Bannon says teams are asking about him, with the Cincinnati Reds at least one club that's been interested before. Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports the Jays are bullish on Valenzuela, Davis Schneider is drawing some trade interest, and Josh Smith played his way into the 2027 plans.

The Toronto Blue Jays met with Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s camp at the GM Meetings, and he's open to playing all over the field, outfield included. Does he fit? The Blue Jays scored the fewest runs in baseball in 2026, and second base is the easiest spot to upgrade. We break down the Sportsnet report on the meeting, Chisholm's 30-30 season in 2025 against his .711 OPS in 2026, his speed and defence, how he'd fit with Clement, Gimenez and the Jays' infield, his contract projections, and how he stacks up against Brandon Lowe, Seiya Suzuki, Ketel Marte and CJ Abrams.

The Blue Jays have checked in on Ketel Marte again, and with Arizona looking to cut payroll after his messy 2026, the price for the Diamondbacks' All-Star second baseman could be dropping. Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports Toronto has checked in on Marte for the 2nd straight offseason, and Jon Morosi says Marte is available in trade discussions. Last winter Arizona wanted controllable starting pitching, most likely Trey Yesavage. This winter the Diamondbacks want to cut payroll and add a left-handed bat, and Addison Barger fits. We break down Marte's numbers, his August no-show, his 10-and-5 no-trade rights, his family tie to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and what the December 1 lockout means for a deal.

Jon Heyman reports the "big-market Blue Jays" are a 4th team in on free agent ace Tarik Skubal, with mystery teams also lurking and baseball's labour deal expiring December 1.

Ross Atkins says the Toronto Blue Jays will add to their offence and starting pitching, and a new report links them to Nationals star CJ Abrams again. At the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said Toronto will "add to our offence and add to our starting pitching" this offseason. With the expected December 1 lockout 3 weeks away, The Athletic's Mitch Bannon reports the Jays could return to their 2026 trade deadline talks with Washington for CJ Abrams, who hit 33 home runs with 34 stolen bases and 106 RBI in 2026. We break down Atkins' comments, the Blue Jays' hole at second base, the Abrams fit, why the Nationals could finally trade him and what it might cost.

The Jays just tipped their hand... The Toronto Blue Jays have shown interest in free agent second baseman Brandon Lowe, according to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi at the GM Meetings. Lowe hit 35 home runs for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2026 and put up a career-best 5.3 WAR, and the Blue Jays scored the fewest runs in MLB. We break down why Lowe fits at second base, his projected contract (MLB Trade Rumors, ESPN and The Athletic), the draft picks a qualifying offer would cost Toronto, and why a joint report from Nicholson-Smith and Davidi sounds a lot like the Anthony Santander signing.

The Blue Jays and Tarik Skubal are more connected than fans think: the Dunedin gym, Bowden Francis, Scott Boras and the money Toronto has coming off the books. Tarik Skubal, the 2-time AL Cy Young winner, is the top free agent this winter. Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith laid out why recent history says the Blue Jays could pursue him. We break down every tie nobody is talking about: the Jays let Skubal lift in their Dunedin gym in March, where he met Max Scherzer; he trains with Bowden Francis in Arizona; and he shares an agent with Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto. Then the Ohtani, Soto and Kyle Tucker near misses, Toronto's 2027 luxury tax room, the Dec 1 lockout clock, and why the Dodgers and Mets stand in the way.

They're Going All In... The Toronto Blue Jays are linked to free agent outfielder Randy Arozarena after Ken Rosenthal said "I expect the Blue Jays to be active" this offseason. A year after Game 7 of the World Series, the Jays scored 648 runs in 2026, the fewest in MLB, and their outfield was 19th in OPS. Arozarena just had the best season of his career with the Mariners: an .865 OPS, 26 home runs, 26 stolen bases and 113 runs. He's expected to decline the Mariners' $23.15 million qualifying offer, due Nov 17, and signing him would cost Toronto its 2nd and 5th highest 2027 draft picks. Bleacher Report projects 5 years and $140 million. We compare him to Seiya Suzuki, look back at the George Springer signing, and ask who else is calling. Nick Gosse breaks it all down.
