[Baerga Bomb] 🔥 Breaking News 🔥 Anthony Santander's signing with Toronto today assured Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that the team wants to win and don't be surprised that before Spring Training begins he is signing a Contract with the Toronto Bluejays worth over 450 million to 550 million 🔥

[BNS] What Santander’s deal means and where it may lead for Blue Jays

[Gomez] Good news for the Blue Jays fan: There are more moves to come. The Jays aren’t done yet!

[Mitchell] Pete Alonso is still in play too. Would not rule that one out.

[Mitchell] Adding a 5th year pushed it across the finish line.

[Morosi] Anthony Santander and Blue Jays are in agreement pending physical, sources say.

What's with the Diversity Our Strength tag for the sub?

[Morosi] Carlos Estévez’s free agent market is intensifying, following the Tanner Scott and A.J. Minter signings in recent days. The Blue Jays and Cubs — both of whom had interest in Scott — are among several teams pursuing Estévez.

[BNS] Blue Jays now have this added bonus pool space. They'll attempt to make the most of it, but execs from other teams say there are no elite players left to steal right now. And Dodgers don't need it for Sasaki, so you can't flip that space to LAD.

[McDaniel] The Dodgers have traded Dylan Campbell to the Phillies in a trade that includes international bonus pool space, per source...Campbell is an OF that was the 136th overall pick in the 2023 draft from the University of Texas. He hit 10 homers and stole 42 bases last year in High-A.

[Passan] I’m sorry, Toronto.

[Mitchell] Keep holding on tight y’all.

[Davidi & BNS] According to FanGraphs’ Roster Resource, the Straw deal pushes the Blue Jays past the first CBT threshold of $241 million to $245 million.

[Bowden] It's certainly fun to see the #BlueJays not only right in the mix for Roki Sasaki, Anthony Santander, and Pete Alonso but, this time, with a solid pathway to landing two of the three. Now, we just wait and see if they can get to the finish line with a couple of them.

[Rodriguez] Source: Roki Sasaki is close to deal with the Dodgers. The source tells me that it will be a big surprise if Sasaki goes to Toronto. #Dodgers #BlueJays

[Romero] Hearing from multiple sources that the Padres are out in Roki Sasaki. They will begin their international signings of Jhoan De La Cruz and Carlos Alvarez in the next few hours.

[BNS] Blue Jays are actively negotiating an extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and he's the most important hitter in their lineup so the recent NYM trade speculation feels like wishful thinking on the part of the Mets (and possibly an attempt to gain leverage on Pete Alonso).

[Nightengale] If the Blue Jays sign Pete Alonso, Vladimir Guerrero could return back to third base while giving the Blue Jays insurance if Guerrero departs as a free agent after the 2025 season. They have no intention of trading Guerrero now.

[Feinsand] Is Sasaki really just a two team race??

[Martino] The Mets have pivoted to plan B, post-Alonso. They now consider it the most likely outcome that Alonso will sign elsewhere. They add Winker and will add a reliever, possibly a top one.
