This article explores a strategy for the Toronto Blue Jays to aggressively pursue a division title in 2025. The plan involves exceeding the first luxury tax threshold, making significant roster upgrades, and leveraging existing financial and trade capital to challenge the Yankees and Orioles. The analysis assumes the recently outlined extensions for Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette remain in place.
Last time, I ran through a scenario where they Jays extend Vlad and Bo, try to patch the holes in the roster without making any long term commitments, and hope that growth from some young players can get them to the fringes of wildcard contention in 2025. Today, I’m going to look at what I consider to be the other viable course of action this season: going all in.
I don’t love leaving a job to prospects like that, but I believe in Roden’s bat and there just isn’t enough money to have a sturdy veteran everywhere. Spencer Horwitz can probably make it work in left to a degree as well if needed. Catcher: Same as last time: try to get Kyle Higashioka or Yasmani Grandal for ~$4m. Even in a go for it scenario, it’s hard to justify spending here when ‘pretty good’ is available cheap.
