The value of contracts paid out in the MLB has never been higher. With the signings of Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani in the last two seasons, we can expect this upward trajectory of contract values to continue. However, when we see these big-name players hit free agency, the same handful of teams are the ones to land these superstars, leaving small-market teams out of the running. With two large market powerhouses making the World Series this past season, there have been takes swirling about the need for a salary cap and a salary floor to make the MLB more competitive for all teams. Would a salary cap work in the MLB? How are teams spending their money? How much of each team's revenue is going to their payroll? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

Merry Christmas to all Blue Jays fans! Today, we discuss the hot topics surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays. It is December 25th and there is still a ton of uncertainty surrounding the direction of this baseball team. The Blue Jays seem to be in on many deals happening across the league but unfortunately for them, finishing on the podium in signings will not lead to more wins next season. There is still time, but the Blue Jays are running out of it if they want to be competitive next season. What did the Blue Jays offer Vladimir Guerrero Jr? Which remaining free agents could sign in Toronto? Who is going to hit clean-up in this lineup next season?

The rumour mill is picking up in Blue Jays land once again. We have seen numerous reports of Bo Bichette trade rumours as Ross Atkins and the front office have failed to extend Bo during his Blue Jays tenure. Ross Atkins has been consistent with his remarks about Bichette, stating the goal is to extend Bo in a long-term deal. However, we have not seen Ross Atkins hand out a massive contract during his entire Blue Jays tenure. In this episode, we break down all the rumours surrounding Bo Bichette and the signings around the MLB. Will Bo Bichette be a Blue Jay in 2025? Will Bichette sign an extension this off-season? Who did the Jays miss out on this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

If you have been listening to us talk about the needs on the Blue Jays, you’ll know we have been very persistent the need of a corner outfielder in this lineup. Today, we talk about Jurickson Profar. Profar is an interesting free agent, as he is coming off of his best season of his career but has not produced to this level consistently. Profar, entering his age 32 season may be looking to get a bag from whichever team he goes to. Would this be a good fit for the Toronto Blue Jays? Will Jurickson Profar continue to produce the way he did in 2024? What could a contract for Profar look like? Would this be the BIG off-season signing the Blue Jays fan base is looking for? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

The needs of the Toronto Blue Jays are very obvious to almost everyone who watched this baseball team last season. We rarely discuss starting pitching when discussing holes within the Jays roster construction, so we decided to dive into starting pitching during this episode. Every starting pitcher in the rotation is under contract for 2025, but we consistently see reports of the Blue Jays being linked to multiple starting pitchers this off-season. Does Ross Atkins want to add to the starting rotation? Who should be in the starting rotation? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Genesis Cabrera, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Aaron Sanchez, Cutter Coffey, Will Wagner, Dillon Tate, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa Intro: 0:00 Who Will Be In The Rotation: 1:50 Yariel Rodriguez’s Role: 18:25 MLB News: 30:26 Outro: 37:34 Twitter: @Brayden5Ewasko @Carterfuerst2 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays JOIN OUR DISCORD!: https://discord.gg/qXSzBkND Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTube Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB

A ton has happened over the last few days, which has given us time to break down the transactions, the effect Ross Atkins has on this roster, and how the pitching (specifically the bullpen) will look in 2025. Today, we focus on the batting order and position players within the organization. The Blue Jays' offense struggled immensely last season, only having one hitter eclipse the 20-home-run mark in 2024. In this episode, we give our thoughts on the current state of the Blue Jays batting order and how confident we are in a bounceback season from this lineup. How good is this Blue Jays lineup? What would it look like if the season started tomorrow? What profile should Ross Atkins target for this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
