Blue Jays Winter Meetings Recap

Meet Dylan Cease and Jays courting one more big bat

In this week’s Exit Philosophy, the Mets and Yankees leave the just-completed Winter Meetings empty-handed while the Dodgers land Edwin Díaz and the Orioles snag Pete Alonso. What will be the reaction of GM David Stearns and the Mets? Panicky Mets fans want to know. The Blue Jays stay quiet after strong earlier moves, but take the opportunity, under the firm guidance of agent Scott Boras, to introduce free-agent Dylan Cease in Orlando and take an unneccesary Rule 5 flyer. Is Boras now in control of MLB’s free-agent market and the schedule of signings? Did the Jays need rotation changes that are remarkable between Opening Day 2024 and now? Now is it about bullpen help, or clarity on Bo’s future? All this and more news and opinion with Griff and Mal on Exit Philosophy.
