Does THIS change EVERYTHING? No! But in it you’ll find my thoughts on the the likelihood that every single Blue Jays player has of getting traded this winter.

We can deduce a few things from the Yariel move:
1) 29 teams passed on claiming Rodriguez ($17M over next 3 years)
2) Blue Jays would have been OK to see him leave for no return
2) Jays prefer to have Rodriguez off the 40-man, freeing up valuable space for someone else

Writing was on the wall that his spot was going to be in peril as a non-optionable guy who was way down the bullpen pecking order. Velo drop from 96.9 (Jun) to 94.7 (Aug) scary. Not surprised there wasn’t trade interest, but a little surprised they did it now. $11m still owed.

The Jays have found the fountain of youth in their rotation. Well, relative to last season at least. PLUS: The Berríos question, and a visit from Kyle Tucker!
Yes, I’ve finally got some Cody Ponce thoughts to share. 👇

Plenty to chew on here but let’s not lose sight of the fact that the Jays are having the offseason the Orioles should be having—or should have had last year—and that it’s very funny.

I didn't think we'd be having an exciting massive transaction pod less than a month from the end of the World Series... but it's time to talk Dylan Cease.
The puns have yet to cease, and why would they yet? Because we’re living in a world where Jays just handed a $210 million deal to one of the most durable, highest-strikeout starters in the sport.
And this week @nickashbourne.bsky.social and I are talking all about it!

Hearing that Cease has never intentionally crossed up his catcher in a thinly veiled attempt to dumbly throw at him out of rage. Another pleasing development.
