We know the Blue Jays won’t be signing Jake Odorizzi, one of their early reported targets that they were looking at this off-season, as he’s already agreed to return to Minnesota for the one year, 17.8 million dollar qualifying offer. However, it sounds like the Blue Jays are casting a pretty wide net, and Odorizzi being removed from the market shouldn’t change how aggressive they are.
Speaking of the word aggressive, I don’t think the Blue Jays will be serious contenders for either Gerrit Cole or Stephen Strasburg, even if I think they should be.
