The Toronto Blue jays have made the most noise this offseason, specifically their pitching, with the Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce additions they are predicted to have one of if not the best rotations in baseball, capped off with Trey Yesavage, Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber.
It's a bold prediction but if everyone plays to their abilities, it's realistic that they dominate the mound next season.
Blue Jays have top rotation in baseball.
Matt Sullivan of Yahoo Sports reported on the Blue Jays pitching rotation and with their additions it's not too hard to imagine a situation, where they have the best rotation in the league. And MLB.com agrees with that statement.
"Shane Bieber is back, Dylan Cease signed for $210 milllion, and Cody Ponce joined for $30 million as well. Adding on Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, and Jose Berrios, the Blue Jays' rotation is an incredible group. MLB.com writer Keegan Matheson predicts that this rotation will be the best in Major League Baseball in 2026. It's a bold prediction, but with how much potential it carries, it's not that far-fetched."-Sullivan
Not only is their top end talent good, their depth pieces are just productive, with Jose Berrios as a sixth starter option, Eric Lauer and Bowden Francis as backup options, even in the unfortunate circumstance that injuries happen, they are covered.
"Their fourth, fifth, and sixth starters would make a decent 1-2-3 on another team. Yesavage, Berrios, and Ponce are quality options in the rotation, and they won't be relied upon to lead this group. And that doesn't even include Lauer and Francis, or any other minor leaguer or further depth signings. Toronto has a great rotation, and Matheson predicts they'll have the best in baseball in 2026."-Sullivan
Now it's time for the Blue Jays to turn their attention to the infield and outfield, as they need one more superstar to complete the dream offseason. But who will it be is the million dollar question.
