MLB Insiders Jon Heyman, Jon Morosi believe the Toronto Blue Jays will get everything they need and more at this years Winter Meetings.
The Winter Meetings are set to begin next week, which means on Sunday players, agents, and executives alike from around the game will begin flocking to Orlando.
There's been plenty of trade and free agent activity already.
The Blue Jays have already signed Impact free agents like Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, and the trade market has been buzzing all winter long with deals like the Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien swap.
Boston's acquisition of Sonny Gray, and last night's five-player deal between the Pirates and Red Sox.
The activity should only ratchet up from here leading up to and throughout the meetings, with plenty of exciting moves to come in the next few days.
The Blue Jays are thought to become one of the biggest players players at this years winter meetings by MLB insiders Jon Heyman and Jon Morosi.
MLB Insiders believe the Blue Jays have the financial backing to sign both Bichette and Tucker
Heyman thinks Bichette is likely to return to Toronto, and the Blue Jays could land both Bichette and Tucker.
«To me, that is the team for him, as well,» Heyman said on Bleacher Report on Thursday. «Could they do both? They tried for Ohtani, they tried for Soto, and they offered $600 million plus for Soto.
«Bichette and Tucker, I don't know if they will add up to $600 million between them; I doubt it. Possible. If Tucker gets over $400 million and Bichette gets close to $200 million, there is the $600 million that was going to Soto. They were willing to do Soto and Vlad Guerrero Jr.»
MLB Network's Jon Morosi eluded to the same scenario on Foul Territory's Inside Scoop Segment.
"The thing that is interesting to me here is we've seen this with the Dodgers. Great players like to play with great players. We haven't kind of haven't seen this NBA thing much in baseball, but it has happened to an extent with the Dodgers. With Yamamoto joining Ohtani, and Sasaki doing the same. I wonder if that is going to be a situation in Toronto where all of a sudden after of all those years of failing to get free agents, you know what? Lets go there and win, they're close let's make it happen. If Tucker and Bichette for instance, are willing to be creative in their deals, deferrals, whatever the case might be, the maybe it happens. I don't know that you can rule it out".
Adding Bichette and Tucker would make the Blue Jays one of, if not the, World Series favorite going into 2026.
Toronto would have one of the top lineups in baseball, while its payroll would also be one of the highest.
