Looking ahead for the Toronto Blue Jays to this upcoming offseason, they could be faced with the reality that they could lose three potential starters from their rotation to free agency. With the contracts of both Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer expiring after the 2025 season, along with the possibility of Shane Bieber opting out of his own contract, it could leave a huge void in the Blue Jays’ starting five heading into 2026.
With that in mind, the Blue Jays should target a solid frontline starter in the free agent market. The one that has recently deemed a best fit for Toronto by MLB insider Robert Murray is San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease.
