Spring training is days away and several former Blue Jays still find themselves without a home.
The most notable names on the list are first baseman/third baseman Justin Turnerand pitcher Ross Stipling. Turner had an up-and-down half year with the Blue Jays before sent to Seattle at the trade deadline, while Stripling was a key contributor from 2020-2022.
Defensive wizard Kevin Pillar initially planned to retire, but reportedly changed his mind during the winter meetings. The centre fielder spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Blue Jays.
Fan favourite Luke Maile is also still available.
The former backup catcher spent three seasons in Toronto. While he was never much of a hitter, he was a solid defensive option.
Rowdy Tellez also finds himself without a home heading into Spring Training.
The popular first baseman made his debut with the Blue Jays in 2018 and played off-and-on until 2021. Due to the emergence of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., he was dealt to Milwaukee in exchange for Trevor Richards and Bowden Francis.
The final notable name is Whit Merrifield.
The second baseman/outfielder was an All-Star with the Blue Jays. Many thought he would come back, but reports of him not being a "team guy" led to his departure after the 2023 offseason.
