The Blue Jays have flipped the narrative, jumping the market to land one of free agency’s biggest names well in advance of the Winter Meetings. Ben and Arden start by discussing the upside potential and downside risk of Toronto’s deal with Dylan Cease (00:20). Then, they cast forward to how the Blue Jays can approach Bo Bichette, Kyle Tucker, and the rest of the position player market (36:16).
Finally, after the Blue Jays agreed to terms with Cody Ponce moments following this episode's original recording and rendered its final segment unusable, Arden jumps back in for a solo conclusion, offering his thoughts on what we can glean from the deferral structure of Dylan Cease’s contract and why the club is betting on the KBO MVP’s breakout (51:38).
