CARLSBAD, Calif. – Information, especially about the intentions of rival clubs, is always at a premium during baseball’s GM meetings, which is why some spotty cell-phone reception amid the picturesque rolling hills that surround the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is problematic.
Since then, the Cincinnati Reds surrendered catcher Tucker Barnhart and starter Wade Miley to slash payroll, the Chicago White Sox hung a public for sale sign on Craig Kimbrel and the Oakland Athletics signalled that they’re going to do another of their periodic resets. What we know of the Blue Jays’ script so far is this: They made a strong offer for Andrew Heaney, according to an industry source, before the left-hander agreed on an $8-million, one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and discussed an extension with Matz.
The guess here is that the ideal target for them in that regard is Corey Seager, a dynamic left-handed hitter who could slide over to another infield spot the way Marcus Semien did last year. Between big-league roster surplus in the outfield and at catcher, farm-system depth and payroll room, they’ll, in Atkins’ words, “have opportunities to make our team better.”
