For the first time in years, the Blue Jays look like an attractive landing spot for big-name players

For the first time in years, the Blue Jays have been mentioned as potential landing spots for big-name players either via trade or free agency. So what will Atkins do for an encore? He didn’t tip his hand on the 35-minute conference call as the four-day GM virtual meetings came to a close. He struck quickly to sign left-hander Robbie Ray last week to a one-year deal worth US$8-million, making him the first free agent to sign this off-season.

Team payroll plans are expected to be finalized after president Mark Shapiro makes a presentation to the Blue Jays' ownership group this month.
