MLB insider Ben Nicholson-Smith announced yesterday during an episode of At The Letters podcast, he stated that the Toronto Blue Jays will not make a bigger move this off-season than acquiring Andres Gimenez.
The Blue Jays have made a few decent moves this off-season like signing Yimi Garcia to a two year deal and trading for Andres Gimenez but have yet to anything substantial apart from those two signings.
Ben Nicholson-Smith states the Blue Jays will not make a bigger move this off-season than trading for Andres Gimenez
During yesterday's episode of Sportsnet's At The Letters, Nicholson-Smith stated that he believes it is more than likely that the Blue Jays biggest move of this year's off-season will end up being trading for Gimenez.
Both Ben Nicholson-Smith and Arden Zwelling believe there is a "greater than 50% chance" the Blue Jays have already made the biggest move of their offseason in acquiring Andrés Giménez.

This is terrible news for Blue Jays fans as they are hoping for the team to make more moves this off-season like signing Corbin Burnes or Teoscar Hernandez but it looks like Nicholson-Smith believes it probably won't happen.
Clearly this cannot be an option for the Blue Jays as their current lineup is far from a top team in the AL East and even less so in the entire league which is why they need to make sure bigger moves happen.
The Blue Jays are in need of a solid hitter and at least a consistent starting pitcher to add to their rotation, if they are able to add both a pitcher and hitter, they might have a solid enough lineup to compete next season.
The bullpen is also a worry but if they can add some average pitchers, they should be fine with their current lineup and having Chad Green as their closer for the 2025 season.
