The Toronto Blue Jays along with a couple other teams are the front runners as of right now to sign all-star third baseman Yoan Moncada.
This is not the first rumor this off-season that could see the Blue Jays replace Ernie Clement at third base as the Blue Jays were expected to sign Munetaka Murakami but he ended up going to the Chicago White Sox.
Blue Jays could end up signing Yoan Moncada
As some of the bigger names in free agency, teams have no started to discuss with Moncada about a potential a deal which apparently includes the Blue Jays.
The Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox and Blue Jays are all showing interest in Moncada according to the latest reports.
Moncada battled some injury issues last season with the Angels as he only ended up playing in 84 games but still managed to put up solid numbers.
Several teams, including the Angels, Pirates, White Sox, and Blue Jays, have shown early interest in free-agent third baseman Yoan Moncada, per sources.
Despite thumb and knee issues, Moncada had a solid 2025 and could contribute even more next season among third basemen.

For the Angels in 2025, Moncada finished with 12 home runs, 35 RBIs in 248 at bats with a .234 batting average and .336 on base percentage.
This would be a very interesting move by the Blue Jays since they already have a great third baseman in Clement but for some reason Toronto continues to look at potential replacements.
Signing Moncada could end up being a risky move by the Blue Jays since he has not played a full season ever in his career and the closest he got to was 144 games back in 2021 with the White Sox when he hit 16 home runs and 61 RBIs.
