The Blue Jays made a big bet that Tyler Rogers has staying power deep into his 30s.
What we've seen from MLB submariners in recent decades suggests they may be onto something: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Blue Jays are telling people they’re motivated in the relief market & expect to be able to add there. Lots of talented pitchers still out there after the Edwin Diaz & Robert Suarez deals, so the Jays still seem well-positioned to land someone good.

Heard Blue Jays and Mets were checking in regularly on Robert Suarez, but didn’t make formal offers because Atlanta moved quickly, landing one of the top relievers available for $45 million over three years.

Ideal world, Blue Jays land a big bat while also adding relief help. But they're also willing to be flexible. On a busy day at the Winter Meetings, Jays are considering a few different paths forward: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Pitching more of a work in progress for Canada (as is typical). Erik Sabrowski & Cade Smith appear to be on board. Jonah Tong wants to play & would be welcomed of course. Nick Pivetta a possibility but seemingly more of a remote one. James Paxton also in the mix.

Josh and Bo Naylor "strongly want to play & everything's good there," Hamilton said.
Team Canada also optimistic Denzel Clarke, Abraham Toro, Otto Lopez & Edouard Julien will all be able to play. Owen Caissie set to play for Canada too.
