"With the days getting shorter and the MLB offseason beginning to gain momentum, general managers across the league are preparing their best offers as the annual Winter Meetings loom large. Throughout the years, the Winter Meetings have allowed executives to come together, discuss trades, and arrange signings with players. Often considered the unofficial "beginning of the offseason," the event has produced some of the biggest blockbusters in MLB history - and some of its most infamous flops."
"One of the more active teams heading into this year's Meetings are the Toronto Blue Jays, fresh off a true spectacle of a World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Toronto have made the largest splash of the offseason so far, signing All-Star starter Dylan Cease on a seven-year contract worth over $200 million, signaling that elite talent is once again putting Canada's team on their radar."
The MLB Winter Meetings serve as a key starting point for offseason transactions as general managers prepare offers and negotiate trades and signings. The Toronto Blue Jays have been especially active, signing All-Star Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $200+ million deal that signals elite players view the club as a destination. Ross Atkins has executed several impactful moves as Blue Jays GM, including the trade for Shane Bieber in exchange for prospect Khal Stephen. Bieber immediately bolstered the rotation and contributed to the team's World Series run, while the low prospect cost made the deal particularly favorable.
