My thinking:
#Bluejays presumably put Okamoto at 3B, moving Barger into a RF platoon with Straw and leaving Lukes without a job as Santander/Springer share LF & DH.
Clement plays 2B, Gimenez SS. If #Jays sign Bichette, Clement/Gimenez wind up in a platoon at 2B or SS, Bichette at the other.

Even assuming Dylan Cease gets $30 million in 2026, #Bluejays will be paying him and Trey Yesavage less than they paid Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer this past season.
