DUNEDIN — One big question hung in the warm, humid Florida air Thursday as the Toronto Blue Jays held their first official workout at spring training.
Guerrero has set a negotiating deadline for Tuesday — the first day of full-squad workouts — before he puts his future plans to the back burner until the end of the season. It was the hot talking point at the player development complex as pitchers and catchers reported for workouts and early training sessions. Many position players were also already on site ahead of their reporting deadline.
The Blue Jays also signed reliever Yimi Garcia and acquired second baseman Andrés Giménez and reliever Nick Sandlin via trade. After reaching the wild-card round in three of four years, Toronto fell to last place in the American League East in 2024 with a 74-88 record. Hoffman will likely take on the closer's role after Jordan Romano's departure and Santander provides some needed thump in the heart of the batting order, which may see some shuffling depending on how things go this spring.
