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

[Tony Romo]

I think I saw on the MLB network ticker that he agreed to a new deal with Cleveland last night.

Too bad, because I agree there’s still plenty of potential in his arm.

Passan: 12 teams to watch this MLB offseason -- and the perfect move for each

What should the Yankees and Mets focus on? What about the Cubs and ... the A's? Jeff Passan shares this winter's most fascinating clubs.

Passan with an interesting trade idea for the Cardinals:

Read somewhere if Arenado agrees to move that Jays would be interested. If they took on most of his salary if not all adding Helsley wouldn't cost too much at all either. I believe he's owed 69 million over the next 3 years after the Rockies 5 million contribution.

Helsley would be dope and though Arenado wouldn't be the hitter he was he'd still be league average with rock solid D.

For someone smarter than me, I looked at Arenado's contract and a lot of it is deferred money. Would the jays be on the hook for it if they acquire him?
