The offseason is heating up, and the recent non-tendering of players like Jordan Romano by the Blue Jays has sparked a lot of discussion. With Romano's injury-riddled 2024 season and his impressive track record prior to that, it raises some intriguing questions about the strategy behind such decisions.
Is this a smart move by the Jays, or are they potentially letting a valuable asset slip through their fingers? Romano was a two-time All-Star and had a stellar ERA of 2.37 from 2021 to 2023. Could he be a prime buy-low candidate for teams looking to bolster their bullpen?
Moreover, with the Blue Jays already struggling with a bullpen that ranked 29th in the majors, what does this mean for their plans moving forward? Are they now in a position to pursue other high-profile relievers, or will they look to develop from within?
On the flip side, what does this say about the current state of the free-agent market for relievers? With several teams likely to be in the hunt for late-inning arms, could we see a bidding war for players who might not have the same pedigree as Romano but could still provide value?
Let’s also not forget the other non-tendered players like Kyle Finnegan and Austin Hays. How do you think these moves will impact their respective teams?
What are your bold predictions for the upcoming free agency? Will we see a surprising team make a splash, or will the usual suspects dominate the headlines?
