Como escribe Mark Feinsand de MLB.com, esta enorme firma de 210 millones por Cease trae malas noticias sobre Kyle Tucker y Bo Bichette llegando a Toronto en la agencia libre.
¿Los Blue Jays están pasando por alto a Bo Bichette y Kyle Tucker?
"En las últimas semanas hemos escuchado sobre el interés de los Blue Jays en Kyle Tucker, con algunos sugiriendo que Toronto podría firmar tanto a Tucker como a Bichette. Ahora que los Jays han entregado un contrato de 210 millones a Cease, parece poco probable que haya espacio para ambos, Bichette y Tucker", aseguró Feinsand.
Toronto acquired one of the top pitchers available this offseason, but they might have also autoexcluido de la puja por Tucker y Bichette.
It's still possible they'll end up signing one or the other, as the Blue Jays haven't concluded their spending for this offseason. However, the somewhat realistic scenario of the Blue Jays acquiring both Tucker and Bichette ya no parece viable, according to Feinsand.
With Tucker likely inking a massive deal this offseason, the Blue Jays' move to acquire Cease could indicate that Bichette sea más probable para volver en 2026 y más allá.
However, no matter how it's framed, the Blue Jays' choice to sign Cease for 210 million might have disqualified them from contention for a blockbuster signing of Tucker and Bichette.
Toronto invested heavily, and it's likely they haven't finished their significant spending this winter. However, the ideal scenario of signing both Tucker and Bichette no longer appears feasible, according to Feinsand.
