Remember the old days when free agents had no interest in coming to Toronto? Next!
It wasn't long ago when the consensus among Blue Jays fans that big time free agents don't want to come to Toronto.
Now that the Blue Jays have shown the world that they are one of the best teams in baseball, and have a clubhouse culture that is the envy of the league, that mindset is starting to change.
A signing like this not only makes the Blue Jays better, but will only encourage others to sign on the dotted line in 2026 and beyond.
A move like this entices players on the Blue Jays free agent wish list, and players like Bo Bichette to re-sign in Toronto.
Side benefit from the Cease deal: another reason for Bichette to stick around.
Cease long term deal a perfect signing with Gausman and Bieber becoming free agents in 2026
MLB.com's Keegan Matheson points out that the Cease signing is exactly the type of deal this organization needs right now with Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber becoming free agents in 2026.
This is the exact type of deal the #BlueJays needed in their rotation.Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber are free agents after 2026 while José Berrios has a player option. Now, in Cease and Trey Yesavage, two new long-term cornerstones. A massive statement by Toronto.
Matheson also pointed out that the Blue Jays acquistion of Cease makes this rotation an American League juggernaut.

Kevin Gausman

The Blue Jays' rotation is a juggernaut.
It will be intriguing to see who the Blue Jays sign or trade for next. It's going to be an interesting offseason for the Blue Jays and their fans to say the least.
