There’s not a whole lot going on with the Blue Jays at the moment, but with only the World Series now left to be contested, we’re now as little as a week away from the official beginning of what could be a pivotal offseason for the club — and for the increasingly expensive core of players they’ve built around Vladimir Guerrero and Bo Bichette.
Will they be bold? Will they be quiet? Will they have money? Which areas of the roster will they prioritize?
There are a ton of questions surrounding this team after two win-now seasons they’ve failed to capitalize on. What comes next is pretty important!
So let’s talk about it! I’ll be opening up the ol’ mail bag later on in the week, so leave me your best questions in the comments on this post!
Of course, as always, comments are only open to paid subscribers — and I’d love for you to choose that option if you’re not already doing so, as this is the only way I make a living, and it keeps my work free to read for everyone else.

My lust for Kyle Schwarber is out of control, but assuming I can't use the power of positive thinking to will him onto the roster, what are some other leftie power bats the Jays could realistically* target this offseason? And should they?
(*I say realistically because while I would trade the entire farm system for Ohtani, I think we can all agree that this is highly unlikely.)
Just a random one - what do you think of the sudden emergence of Gibby? Twitter, a podcast, a book...seemingly out of nowhere!
