The biggest focus for the Blue Jays this off-season has been and should be the starting rotation, and that’s been the central topic of discussion so far on the rumour mill. We’ve already seen Ross Atkins make a trade to acquire Chase Anderson from the Milwaukee Brewers to help bolster the rotation, and chances are the work is far from done.
The pitching staff isn’t the only area of need, and I imagine that the Blue Jays are keeping an eye on market for veteran first basemen as well. They let their own former slugger in Justin Smoak become a free agent this winter, and it remains possible that he could return once the market sorts itself out a little more.
