It’ll be a few weeks before free agency officially opens, as it doesn’t start until five days after the conclusion of the World Series, but that usually doesn’t stop us from thinking about it early.
The Blue Jays are in a fairly strong position as they enter the off-season, with most of their core players under contract control, and in many cases still in the pre-arbitration period of their MLB careers. That should give Ross Atkins and the front office the flexibility they need to pursue some noteworthy free agents, and chances are they’ll be focused on the starting rotation as usual.
