"It's always wise to have a backup plan. Now that the Toronto Blue Jays have bolstered their pitching staff with the additions of Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers, it's time to focus on improving their position-player group. By all accounts, the organization is seeking to add one impact hitter to its 2026 lineup - and that addition could very well end up being either Bo Bichette or Kyle Tucker."
"without compromising anyone else's playing time. The 31-year-old infielder, who opted out of the final two seasons of his three-year, $120 million contract last month, isn't the elite hitter that Tucker and Bichette are. But, with his low strikeout, high on-base profile, he'd perfectly match the club's offensive identity next season and could provide middle-of-the-order protection for Vladimir Guerrero Jr."
Toronto prioritized pitching upgrades with Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers and now aims to add one impact position player for the 2026 lineup. Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker represent the primary targets for that offensive upgrade, but both could sign elsewhere, requiring contingency plans. Alex Bregman is presented as a viable free-agent alternative because roster flexibility would allow him to slide into third base without costing others playing time. Bregman offers a low-strikeout, high on-base profile and middle-of-the-order protection for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., though a return to Boston remains likely.
