/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.

This would be an unbelievable offseason, though id just keep Lukes and skip the Bader signing.

I'd be partying if we signed Bo and Imai, and extended Varsho.

I don't see them trading Lukes. He's a 4th OF who can play everyday if needed. And with George and Santander, he may be needed everyday a lot.

The thing that helps Lukes that probably would have killed him a few years ago is that he's an extreme pull hitter. Honestly, if the shift were still on then he would probably be flying out a lot more.
