Blue Jays head into the offseason with a few glaring questions image

The Toronto Blue Jays are coming off a spectacular season. They won the AL East over the New York Yankees for the first time since the 2015 season. 

They parlayed that into a World Series run where they gave it their all against the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, it was not enough as the Blue Crew was able to edge them out in a 4-3 series. 

Now, they turn their attention to the offseason. They come into the offseason with a few questions, but one was just answered. 

Shane Bieber will be returning to the rotation for the 2026 season. He recently exercised his player option, which is great news for the fans in Toronto.

So now, the front office turns its attention to a few other question marks. 

Blue Jays head into the offseason with a few glaring questions

The biggest question the Blue Jays now face is whether they will have Bo Bichette in the lineup next year or not. He is a free agent and should generate a ton of interest from other teams. 

Despite this, Bichette has stated his desire to stay in Toronto, via TSN, and the club would certainly love to have him back. 

The other question is if the surprising contributors will continue to make an impact next season, via Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller. 

"No one would have guessed eight months ago that Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, and Trey Yesavage would be playing key roles for Toronto in 2025, let alone in October 2025. Nor is it likely that a single soul had 'Ernie Clement sets MLB record for most hits in a single postseason' on their Bingo card of 2025 predictions."

If the club wants to continue to make noise in the AL East, it will be on these four to continue to be game-changers. They were a reason why the club got as far as they did and will be called upon to do the same in 2026.
