With the PED issues, it?s hard to say for sure what the Jays even have in Martinez. Can?t pencil him in anywhere.

Jordan Romano decision puts spotlight on Blue Jays' bullpen needs
The Blue Jays’ need for relief has never been more clear. The bullpen that finished the 2024 season last in the MLB in wins above replacement and second-last in ERA has only subtracted so far. But of all the recent departures, it's the loss of Jordan Romano that's most significant.

Nah. I actually kinda get this one. He’ll get a significant contract in arbitration and who knows how he’ll perform after missing most of last season with issues in the throwing arm.Jays non-tender Romano:

Being non-tendered doesn’t mean he won’t be back, either.

I get all that, but the salary projections don't seem bananas...but what I was getting at is that he's a really popular player with the fans, as well as a local boy.

I get that. It would not shock me if they bring him back at a lower salary than the arbitration projections.
But, honestly, if I were GM, I probably would have non-tendered him in this situation, too.

Are we going for back to back seasons of battling the big boys for the top players? While Soto would be great, let's be careful not to focus all our attention on him and forgetting there's a bunch of other holes to plug in this lineup.

Blue Jays fans divided over potential Juan Soto signing as reports swirl that Toronto will make 'highest offer' to star free agent
The franchise flexed its financial muscle last winter but failed to land superstar Shohei Ohtani in free-agency. Will things be different this time around?

The first year of the trade worked out well for the Jays. Swanson was good and Teoscar had a down year.
Last offseason Teo was a free agent. For the money the Jays paid to sign Kevin Kiermaier and and Justin Turner, they could have had Teoscar. Jays could have had their cake and eat it too. To me, that was the mistake.
I don't know if Teo would have even chosen to sign here when the Dodgers were interested.
I don’t think it worked out the first year as Teoscar’s contributions would have been much greater than swanson’s.

Looks like the Jays are doing nothing again. I would love to see Teoscar back, guy has a smile that lights up the world. Hope they can negotiate with Romano on a come back deal. Also hope that Manoah can come back into form when he returns.
I am not a Bo fan either, doesn't seem like the long term shortstop of the future and he is going to command some heavy scratch I would rather dedicate to Vladdy.

Most of the league has done little to nothing. Everyone is waiting on the Soto sweeps to be settled.
