Good afternoon! I’ll get going at 2pm CT, but feel free to ask a question ahead of time if you like.
\nHello! Let’s get underway<\/p>\n

small mouth bass<\/p>\n

For 2026, could the Jays opt for slick middle infield – Gimenez + Clement – and go hard after Bregman to play 3rd (with Barger going to RF)?<\/p>\n

Steve Adams<\/p>\n

I don’t see any reason the Jays wouldn’t be on Bregman this offseason. He’s a good fit for the roster, they have plenty of cash coming off the books, they’ll be firmly in win-now mode, the cost won’t be beyond their comfort level, etc.That said, I don’t think that means you need to resign yourself to Gimenez\/Clement up the middle. Second basemen generally aren’t paid that richly in free agency. Gleyber Torres is probably going to be the top earner among this year’s group, but I don’t think he’s going to get nine figures or anything. They could look for a bounceback from Luis Rengifo or look into trading for Brandon Lowe or Ozzie Albies. There are lots of paths to consider.<\/p>\n

Nick Lodolo for Jarren Duran. What\/who else needs to be tossed in for this to happen?<\/p>\n
