The Toronto Blue Jays newest addition in Cristopher Polanco might be the new face of the franchise in a few years with the skillset he has.
The Blue Jays missed out on Roki Sasaki this off-season but quickly pivoted and signed Polanco with another 21 international free agents but none have the skillset that he has to be a superstar.
The Blue Jays missed out on Roki Sasaki after making it into his top two desired destinations.
They did all they could to influence his decision to sign with Toronto, but they were unsuccessful, and were left with slightly over $8 million to spend in international bonus pool space after the hammer dropped.
Fortunately, they were still able to land a top prospect in the 2025 cycle, and fans should get very excited about this young player from the Dominican Republic. -Dionis

The Blue Jays have a serious star on their hands with Cristopher Polanco
The Blue Jays ended up agreeing on a $2.3 million signing bonus with Polanco who was ranked in the 22nd spot in the MLB pipeline for thee 2025 international free agent class.
For a bonus deal of $2.3 million, Toronto was able to land Christopher Polanco, the 22nd overall prospect in this cycle, according to MLB Pipeline. He has a lot of great tools that could assist him in becoming a top prospect in baseball. -Dionis
Early reports of Polanco praise the young hitters abilities at the plate as he is seen as once of the best left handed hitters of the 2025 international class and consistently strings together solid at bats.
"Polanco is one of the more advanced left-handed hitters in the 2025 international class. He regularly strings together quality at-bats and performs well in games with a short, sweet swing that's mechanically sound and a knack for barreling good velocity." - Baseball America
Fans should be excited that the Blue Jays were able to land such an incredible talent and now they have two incredible shortstop prospects with Arjun Nimmala as well which has the future starting to look very bright.
If Polanco even turns into a fraction of what he should be, the Blue Jays have a serious star on their hands.
