Pitching remains priority for Toronto Blue Jays following Dylan Cease deal

"I think that the money is there, and the ability and opportunity is right. The way that is been explained to me and the way the Blue Jays have spoken about it on multiple occasions, when there's a business case to be made, if they can justify it, then they can go do it. So this doesn't rule them out of anything else that they want to do this offseason. If anything this just gives them more opportunity, because now the major thing on the to-do list is gone. So now they are just looking in other areas. I think they're looking at ways to chase wins right now. Asking themselves...where are you going to get the most wins from your roster at this point?"

"The next one for them is probably be a leverage reliever. You can't have enough bullpen, everything we see in the postseason and how much they value it, that's going to be the next area of focus. Then they're also going to look to add a bat, ideally an infielder and obviously Bo Bichette fits into that range, but again because of the lineup flexibility, they can persue an outfielder if they wanted. And finally I think they're going to just keep on adding pitching. They can be creative in a number of different ways, you can just never have enough pitching. Can they add a swingman? Can they add two relievers? Do they maybe go out and find anther starter? There are ways they can still build on their pitching, and I think thats what they still want to do".
