DUNEDIN — Question marks hover over the Toronto Blue Jays as the team kicks off spring training Thursday when pitchers and catchers hold their first official workout at the club's player development complex.
The Blue Jays appear to have money to spend as they were reportedly among the finalists for superstar outfielder Juan Soto, who signed a 15-year deal worth US$765 million with the New York Mets. Bowden Francis and Yariel Rodriguez are the best bets for the fifth spot while Alek Manoah is hoping to return sometime this summer.The knives were out for general manager Ross Atkins at times during the off-season as the Blue Jays repeatedly came up short in landing big-name talent.
Atkins did land slugger Anthony Santander on a five-year deal worth $92.5 million. Other notable free-agent signings include Scherzer and relievers Jeff Hoffman and Yimi Garcia .Toronto's bullpen was a weak point in 2024 due to a combination of underperformance and injuries.
