I’m only going to spend as much time on this as I have to because really thinking about it to any significant extent might break what little is left of my brain. The Blue Jays need a third baseman and are buying while the Cubs “need” to slash payroll and have a third baseman earning $19.5 million, so there has naturally been speculation about the teams potentially matching up on a deal for Kris Bryant.
But the Jays are also in need of two impact starting pitchers and could look to add another Cub after already signing Tyler Chatwood.
