Per Francys Romero, the Blue Jays are among teams interested in 3B Yoan Moncada
Moncada had a solid 2025 and could contribute even more next season among third basemen.
Moncada spent the majority of his MLB career with the White Sox. He's played in 10 MLB seasons in his big league career, with his most recent coming with the Los Angeles Angels.
He played in 84 games, posted a 0.7 bWAR, and hit .234 with a .783 OPS. He hit 12 home runs, 13 doubles, two triples, and had 35 RBIs to go with 39 runs scored and 58 hits this past season.
Moncada dealt with multiple injuries to his thumb and knee in 2025. But, despite those injuries, he put up a decent season and could become a key contributor in 2026 for the Blue Jays.
With the White Sox, Moncada had his career-year in 2019, when he had 5.1 bWAR and hit .315 with a .915 OPS and was finally reaching the sky-high potential he had before making his MLB debut.

The Blue Jays were interested in Moncada at this time least year, but he ultimately signed with the Angels.
The Blue Jays could look to add him to the roster, not as a Bo Bichette replacement, but as some extra depth for the roster in 2026.
