The World Series is right around the corner, and that means we are closer than ever to the start of free agency. The Blue Jays have a lot to do before the start of next season, considering they sold at the trade deadline and are still looking to be competitive next season.

The Blue Jays have had run prevention as their team identify for the last few seasons, and it has shown with the moves they have made in free agency and the trade market. Unfortunately, this blueprint has not brought the Blue Jays much success. While defense is still important, the Blue Jays could look to shift towards another identity that could further elevate their lineup and allow them to have an easier time scoring runs more consistently, to take pressure off the pitching staff. In this episode, we discuss the importance of defense while talking about other facets of the game, and how a change in philosophy could help this roster be more productive on both sides of the ball.

The Blue Jays lacked production in many areas this past season, especially within the lineup. This is an organization that will be aggressive in the offseason and is willing to spend, but every team likes to find a good bargain. One way to so this is through the trade market, just like at last years’ trade deadline when the Blue Jays acquired Louis Varland. To acquire talent, an organization has to part ways with talent in return. With this idea in mind, we decided to discuss a few possible trade candidates the Blue Jays could look to move to retool and acquire depth in other areas, breaking down which players would be worth shopping on the market to see what the Blue Jays could get in return.
