Adding Fried who be incredible for the Blue Jays rotation as they would have to bonified aces between him and Kevin Gausman if he is able to return to his usual self next year after a tough season in 2024.
However, Toronto will need to clear up some space in their starting rotation which is why they have been rumored to be looking to either move Yariel Rodriguez to the bullpen or trade Chris Bassitt before the season.
This could end up being a massive move for the Blue Jays and even though $140 million is a lot of money, he is certainly worth the big ticket.
