They were able to bring back <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/shane-bieber\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shane Bieber<\/a> before adding <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/dylan-cease\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dylan Cease<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/cody-ponce\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cody Ponce<\/a> to their starting rotation. Toronto also dipped into the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB<\/a> reliever pool to snatch up submariner Tyler Rogers. They have yet to <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/toronto-blue-jays\/munetaka-murakami-bo-bichette-kyle-tucker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bring in a big bat<\/a>, but there are several sluggers available in free agency. All of Kyle Tucker, <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/bo-bichette\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bo Bichette<\/a>, Cody Bellinger, Eugenio Suarez, <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/alexander-bregman\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Bregman<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/mlb\/player\/munetaka-murakami\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Munetaka Murakami<\/a> are available to sign.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto has put its stamp on the international free agent market. They scooped up a <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/toronto-blue-jays\/celwin-hurkmans-free-agent\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">6-foot-6 pitcher<\/a> with potential, and they are rolling the dice on a <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/toronto-blue-jays\/isay-veras-catcher-signed-bo-bichette\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mysterious catcher.<\/a> More recently, they signed a position player <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/toronto-blue-jays\/geovanny-planchart-free-agency\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who is \u201caggressive\u201d<\/a> with exceptional defensive skills.<\/p>\n<p>However, one major MLB insider has revealed that the Blue Jays could make a huge splash in free agency. At least, regarding Tucker, Bichette, and Bregman, with \u201call indications\u201d pointing to the Blue Jays signing one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Insider Gives Bold Toronto Blue Jays Prediction<\/p>\n<p>Most of the noise around the Blue Jays has been around Bichette and Tucker. MLB insider Jeff Passan has reported that if anyone could sign both Bichette and Tucker, it\u2019s Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>While making an appearance on the Michael Kay Show, Passan made a bold prediction regarding the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that the Blue Jays are done. I think they\u2019re going to get a big bat,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/notericviola\/status\/2002116782480576787?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Passan said on the December 19th episode<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s Kyle Tucker, or Alex Bregman, or Bo Bichette, or maybe multiple of them. But I think the Blue Jays right now are in a position where they are willing to spend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey feel they have a window here and they\u2019re going to take advantage of Vladimir Guerrero\u2019s prime years and the team that pushed the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/los-angeles-dodgers\/\" title=\"Dodgers\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"127464\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dodgers<\/a> to the precipice in the World Series last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bregman hasn\u2019t been connected to the Blue Jays much this winter. It\u2019s hard to ignore the offensive impact of the third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>According to Savant, Bregman has the <a href=\"https:\/\/baseballsavant.mlb.com\/leaderboard\/hot-stove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">10th-best batting run value<\/a> among this crop of free agents. On FanGraphs, his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/teams\/red-sox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">125 wRC+ was fourth-best<\/a> on the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/boston-red-sox\/\" title=\"Boston Red Sox\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"127461\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Boston Red Sox<\/a> in the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s excellent news that Toronto is in the mix for Bregman, another report surfaced that should put some speculation to bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018All Indications\u2019 Blue Jays Land Kyle Tucker<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Jays have been linked to Tucker and Bichette since the beginning of the offseason. While their link to Bichette is obvious, the connection to Tucker is less obvious.<\/p>\n<p>However, a new report has pointed to the Blue Jays landing Tucker. Additionally, the report includes a potential timeline for when the deal could happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSources: Blue Jays remain \u2018confident\u2019 they will land FA Star OF Kyle Tucker this offseason,\u201d X account <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MoccBomb\/status\/2002110646339473735?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">MoccBomb wrote on December 19, 2025. <\/a>\u201cSome in the industry think he could sign before Christmas with Blue Jays. Nothing is finalized at this point, but all indications are Blue Jays will land him. Perfect fit in that lineup and in that outfield. AL East is loaded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Busy \u201cTrade Frenzy\u201d Friday<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of MoccBomb, this MLB insider linked the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> to Brandon Lowe on December 10th. Fast-forward to Friday, December 19th, and Lowe was involved in a frenzy of trading that day.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe was involved in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/mlb\/article\/ap-source-pirates-to-acquire-brandon-lowe-in-three-team-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">massive three-team trade<\/a> between the Pirates, <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/tampa-bay-rays\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>, and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/houston-astros\/\" title=\"Houston Astros\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"127463\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Houston Astros<\/a>. The Pirates scored Lowe, Mason Montgomery, and Jake Mangum. Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito landed with the Rays, while starting pitcher Mike Burrows was sent to the Astros.<\/p>\n<p>The Rays were involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/mlb\/article\/report-orioles-acquire-shane-baz-from-rays-for-mutltiple-top-prospects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">another big trade<\/a> on the same day. They sent ace Shane Baz to the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/baltimore-orioles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Orioles<\/a>. In exchange, they received Slater de Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, and Austin Overn.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly for the Blue Jays, a potential reliever fit with the organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/mlb\/article\/royals-acquire-reliever-matt-strahm-from-phillies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">was also traded<\/a>. The <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/kansas-city-royals\/\" title=\"Kansas City Royals\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"127462\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kansas City Royals<\/a> acquired lefty Matt Strahm for Jonathan Bowlen.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that Christmas Day is less than a week away, there should be even more activity in the MLB. And, if recent reports are to be believed, Tucker and one of Bichette &amp; Bregman should be added to the Blue Jays roster.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/calebkerney\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Caleb Kerney<\/a> Caleb covers the NHL for Heavy.com.
