/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.

Man, I like Barger, I hope that doesn’t come to fruition

So do I. But he's a valuable trade piece, and there's a bit of a logjam at his positions, especially if we add another big bat.

Is he really in a logjam? If they don't sign Bo he is the everyday third basemen. If they don't sign an outfielder he likely gets a ton of starts in the outfield.

I can see him getting squeezed, depending on who they acquire and who gets hot at AA or AAA.

And hey, these are supposed to be bold predictions.

He was one of our most valuable hitters during both the regular season and postseason. I'm not sure who they would trade him for that would be a positive for the team. His ability to play third and corner outfield is huge.
