This *NEEDS* To Change Before The Start Of Next Season…. | Blue Jays Rumours
A ton has happened over the last few days, which has given us time to break down the transactions, the effect Ross Atkins has on this roster, and how the pitching (specifically the bullpen) will look in 2025. Today, we focus on the batting order and position players within the organization. The Blue Jays’ offense struggled immensely last season, only having one hitter eclipse the 20-home-run mark in 2024. In this episode, we give our thoughts on the current state of the Blue Jays batting order and how confident we are in a bounceback season from this lineup. How good is this Blue Jays lineup? What would it look like if the season started tomorrow? What profile should Ross Atkins target for this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Genesis Cabrera, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Aaron Sanchez, Cutter Coffey, Will Wagner, Dillon Tate, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa

if the Jays dont make a major signing in regards to bringing multiple bats to the lineup then I fully expect not only the Jays to finish last in the AL East but to lose both Vlad and Bo either during the season through a trade (Bo) or in the offseason (Vlad). This team is such a clusterf*ck of a mess, it's farm system depleted and the talent that we did have coming up the pipeline, our front office loves to trade away for players that have one or two years left in their prime >.<
Fans they will lose masses of them and billions of Dollars b4 we come back
Regardless of what gets added or subtracted, we can't finish worse than last year. It's a decent team who played horrible baseball. There's a difference.
Vlad and Bo want to come off strong years. If they're even worth keeping, like all the fans are shouting, then we have nothing to worry about.
I think that it's It's almost a guarantee that we're going to make the playoffs in 2025.
The projected lineup is an absolute joke. So pathetic
I am convinced the best move for the Jays is to open the vault and sign Alex Bregman. His excellent D is right up Atkins/Shapiro's alley and he slots perfectly into the #4 slot. Bo first, Gimenez #2, Vladdy, Bregman cleanup, George, Kirk, etc.
Anyone who thinks a baseball team lineup is set on December 13 knows nothing about the game. There will be changes made on every team. It isn't worth even talking about.
Newsflash folks. This team is NOT expecting to compete for anything. They will struggle to be 4th place in the East. That's even a long shot.
If the Jays do not sign Burnes then a possible back up plan could be through the trade market. To address the starting pitcher problem , look at either Jesus Luzardo from the Miami Marlins or Framber Valdez from the Houston Astros then look at Luis Arraez from the San Diego Padres who can play 3rd base. And lastly why not look at either AJ Minter or Tanner Scott for the bull pen. Trade Springer , Bichette , Lukes , Manoah to free up some cap space .
Let the record show, you guys literally forgot one third of the lineup at one point😄. This lineup is like a C-
Fire Atkins and Shipiro for destroying the team! I love Vladdy but I hope he leaves along with Bo and come back to hammer the Jays every time they meet.
If Springer is batting lead off we are dead in the water. Springer needs to be the 4th outfielder or traded.
