For every move the Blue Jays have made this off-season, and there have been quite a few, there has likely been five times as many rumours. That can be fairly common as any team looks to improve through free agency or off-season trades, but it was especially the case for the Blue Jays this year.
One of the many rumours from earlier this winter was that the Blue Jays checked in on Didi Gregorius as a free agent, who eventually signed a one-year, 14 million dollar pact to join the Philadelphia Phillies. Gregorius is certainly a good player and could have improved the Blue Jays’ lineup, but the rumour caused many of us to initially raise our collective eyebrows.
