Blue Jays Discussion: 2024-25 Off-season: The free agent watch begins (and sometimes old baseball radio broadcasts)

I have a bad feeling about this off season. Have a sense we’ll get one medium guy and a bunch of filler and we’ll get one trade for another arm and that’ll be it and we’ll be a fringe playoff team. Just think it’s going to be another season of rumours that never materialize

Will be exactly like last offseason. Interested in everybody. Think they have a shot at soto play the waiting game and while he uses them to get better offers elsewhere everyone else in free agency will sign with other teams. Then will end up with kiermaier and turner type players

Interestingly enough, that's definitely not really what happened last year. Ohtani was one of the earliest free agents to sign.

You will only be let down if you believe the "Jays are in on" crap you hear for every FA.

This.

It’s a travesty they have Vladdy and Bo unsigned right now and they’re looking to shell out cash to get free agents.

Subjectively and objectively, they suck!

Bo I understand because it seems like he wants to go elsewhere. However, Vladdy has been proactive in wanting to be here. It's ridiculous they haven't signed one of them.
