Every offseason, it seems like the Toronto Blue Jays fit into the same narrative. They will “check-in” or be rumoured to have connections with premium free agents, only to have the players sign elsewhere and management picking up sub-par talent that is more of a work in progress than an MLB contributing player.
That’s not to say that the Blue Jays are going to sign every free agent they have interest in considering there are 29 other teams in the league, but history is not on the organization’s side when it comes to free agency.
