Overview

• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, both nearing free agency, are central to the Blue Jays' 2025 strategy and future identity.
• Guerrero Jr. rejected a record-setting extension offer, expressing interest in testing free agency despite his desire to remain in Toronto.
• The Blue Jays' playoff odds are slim, with FanGraphs projecting an 82-80 record and a 38.2% chance of postseason contention.
• If Toronto struggles early, Guerrero and Bichette could become high-profile trade candidates, with potential suitors already speculated for both players.
• Offseason additions like Max Scherzer, Anthony Santander, and Andrés Giménez aim to address team weaknesses, but concerns remain about pitching depth and player performance rebounds.
