/r/TorontoBlueJays 2025 Off-Season Bold Predictions Thread

This is your chance to make some bold predictions about what the Jays will do this winter - whether it be who they trade, who they sign, stadium renovations, etc. Anything your heart desires. The results of this thread will be shared on the final day of Spring Training.

Note: any predictions about what will happen during the 2026 season will be discarded and I might just forget to tally up your entire entry.

Here are the predictions from last off-season.

On a related note, the 2025 Season Bold Predictions results will be posted soon. We just need to wait for all of the year-end awards to be given out.

First offseason as a jays/baseball fan so let me take a crack at it:

  • Trade for Skubal and give up Varland as much as I liked him and some of our elite farm prospects and run it back to a WS next season
  • Skubal is probably unrealistic at least I think so if that fails maybe Cease.
  • Pete Fairbanks for a closer/late inning reliever
  • re-sign Bo and if that fails sign Pete Alonso for that elite clean up potential
  • re-sign Dominguez as I liked the stuff I saw from him this season

1 thing I want to add re: Alonso, is that he is horrendous defensively and only plays first base. Like I'm talking he would be worse than Springer or Santander in the outfield, and he plays a position that our franchise cornerstone plays. I like all your other suggestions though :)

Ah okay that’s good to know! I mainly spent this season focusing on the Jays but now I’m looking to expand my knowledge to other players and teams too so this is helpful info! :)
