Locked On Blue Jays - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Blue Jays

The value of contracts paid out in the MLB has never been higher. With the signings of Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani in the last two seasons, we can expect this upward trajectory of contract values to continue. However, when we see these big-name players hit free agency, the same handful of teams are the ones to land these superstars, leaving small-market teams out of the running. With two large market powerhouses making the World Series this past season, there have been takes swirling about the need for a salary cap and a salary floor to make the MLB more competitive for all teams. Would a salary cap work in the MLB? How are teams spending their money? How much of each team's revenue is going to their payroll? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Yimi Garcia, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Andrus Gimenez, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Erik Swanson, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Genesis Cabrera, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Aaron Sanchez, Cutter Coffey, Will Wagner, Dillon Tate, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa Intro: 0:00 Should The MLB Have A Salary Cap?: 1:42 How Do Teams Spend Their Money: 14:13 Top 100 Players List: 22:58 Outro: 29:25 Twitter: @Brayden5Ewasko @Carterfuerst2 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays JOIN OUR DISCORD!: https://discord.gg/qXSzBkND Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTube Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB

Merry Christmas to all Blue Jays fans! Today, we discuss the hot topics surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays. It is December 25th and there is still a ton of uncertainty surrounding the direction of this baseball team. The Blue Jays seem to be in on many deals happening across the league but unfortunately for them, finishing on the podium in signings will not lead to more wins next season. There is still time, but the Blue Jays are running out of it if they want to be competitive next season. What did the Blue Jays offer Vladimir Guerrero Jr? Which remaining free agents could sign in Toronto? Who is going to hit clean-up in this lineup next season? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

The rumour mill is picking up in Blue Jays land once again. We have seen numerous reports of Bo Bichette trade rumours as Ross Atkins and the front office have failed to extend Bo during his Blue Jays tenure. Ross Atkins has been consistent with his remarks about Bichette, stating the goal is to extend Bo in a long-term deal. However, we have not seen Ross Atkins hand out a massive contract during his entire Blue Jays tenure. In this episode, we break down all the rumours surrounding Bo Bichette and the signings around the MLB. Will Bo Bichette be a Blue Jay in 2025? Will Bichette sign an extension this off-season? Who did the Jays miss out on this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

If you have been listening to us talk about the needs on the Blue Jays, you’ll know we have been very persistent the need of a corner outfielder in this lineup. Today, we talk about Jurickson Profar. Profar is an interesting free agent, as he is coming off of his best season of his career but has not produced to this level consistently. Profar, entering his age 32 season may be looking to get a bag from whichever team he goes to. Would this be a good fit for the Toronto Blue Jays? Will Jurickson Profar continue to produce the way he did in 2024? What could a contract for Profar look like? Would this be the BIG off-season signing the Blue Jays fan base is looking for? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

The needs of the Toronto Blue Jays are very obvious to almost everyone who watched this baseball team last season. We rarely discuss starting pitching when discussing holes within the Jays roster construction, so we decided to dive into starting pitching during this episode. Every starting pitcher in the rotation is under contract for 2025, but we consistently see reports of the Blue Jays being linked to multiple starting pitchers this off-season. Does Ross Atkins want to add to the starting rotation? Who should be in the starting rotation? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Genesis Cabrera, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Aaron Sanchez, Cutter Coffey, Will Wagner, Dillon Tate, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa Intro: 0:00 Who Will Be In The Rotation: 1:50 Yariel Rodriguez’s Role: 18:25 MLB News: 30:26 Outro: 37:34 Twitter: @Brayden5Ewasko @Carterfuerst2 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays JOIN OUR DISCORD!: https://discord.gg/qXSzBkND Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTube Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB

It has been reported Vladimir Guerrero declined a contract extension offer from the Blue Jays. With all the reports and confirmations the Jays were willing to send out in a Juan Soto contract, many believed a Vladdy extension could be coming with the money that could have gone to Soto. With Vladdy having his best offensive season since 2021, he has all the leverage going into the 2025 off-season, with the ability to test his value among other teams throughout the league. What was the contract offer? When do we think Vladdy will sign? Where does he rank among other players in baseball? Who else are the Toronto Blue Jays in on for the rest of free agency? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

A ton has happened over the last few days, which has given us time to break down the transactions, the effect Ross Atkins has on this roster, and how the pitching (specifically the bullpen) will look in 2025. Today, we focus on the batting order and position players within the organization. The Blue Jays' offense struggled immensely last season, only having one hitter eclipse the 20-home-run mark in 2024. In this episode, we give our thoughts on the current state of the Blue Jays batting order and how confident we are in a bounceback season from this lineup. How good is this Blue Jays lineup? What would it look like if the season started tomorrow? What profile should Ross Atkins target for this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

We decided to take two days to cover the craziness at the start of this week. Yimi Garcia has returned to the Toronto Blue Jays after being traded to the Seattle Mariners during the 2024 trade deadline. Garcia was one of the only positives to come out of the Blue Jays bullpen last season, as he needed to work in high leverage, as the set-up man and even as the closer at times in 2024. Where does this signing leave the Blue Jays bullpen? What will Yimi Garcia be expected of in 2025? Will this be the last bullpen signing of this off-season? Will Yimi Garcia help the bullpen improve for the upcoming season? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Genesis Cabrera, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Aaron Sanchez, Cutter Coffey, Will Wagner, Dillon Tate, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa Intro: 0:00 Yimi Garcia Is Back: 1:16 Is The Bullpen Set Up For Success: 14:57 John Schneider’s Spotlight: 24:53 Outro: 31:43 Twitter: @Brayden5Ewasko @Carterfuerst2 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays JOIN OUR DISCORD!: https://discord.gg/Sc9NQRpC Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTube Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB

Tuesday was one of the craziest days of the off-season; especially if your team is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays signed Yimi Garcia, found out their draft pick for the 2025 MLB Draft, and made a massive trade all in one day. The Blue Jays acquired Andres Gimenez and Nick Sandlin in exchange for Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell, as this was an unexpected move trading for another player with elite defense as their strongest attribute. How will this affect the Blue Jays? What position will he play? Will this be the “big move” of the off-season? Did the Blue Jays win this trade? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

It has been just over 24 hours since the Juan Soto news broke, and we have had some time to digest what happened. Juan Soto has signed with the New York Mets, which was the best-case scenario if he was not going to sign with the Toronto Blue Jays. It was never likely, but we discussed our thoughts and perspectives on the situation and how the Blue Jays should pivot this free agency. There are still many big-name free agents on the board, and the Blue Jays should have the money to bring in impactful changes to jumpstart this franchise for 2025. How are we feeling after these Juan Soto Sweepstakes? Who should the Blue Jays look to target in free agency? How many signings will they make? Can Ross Atkins make the right moves and set this team up for success? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
