Every team in Major League Baseball has free agents that have the option to sign elsewhere every season. The Blue Jays had a few of these candidates, one being Seranthony Dominguez who signed with the Chicago White Sox. Dominguez had some comments that some fans took offence to in his introductory press conference with the White Sox, but other fans have dismissed these comments stating they weren’t directed at anybody. In this episode, we discuss what was said in the press conference, the Blue Jays promotions early on in the season and have an interview with Blue Jays prospect Kai Peterson right here on Locked On Blue Jays.

For a pitcher this talented, people couldn’t help but wonder why the market has not picked up for a reliable left handed starting pitcher. In this episode, we discuss Framber Valdez and his market, as well as how the Blue Jays could be a potential fit for the lefty if they give him a contract.

The Blue Jays seem to be done making moves in free agency. We decided to take a look at how the Blue Jays will roll out their infield for next season. The Jays loved to use the platoon advantage any time they could in 2025, and we expect them to do that once again in 2026. While there are players who will play everyday, there is opportunity for John Schneider to set his players up for success once again. In this episode, we discuss how the Blue Jays defense will look in 2026, as well as how the Jays influx of utility players will be used to give players the best chance to succeed, with a special focus on the infield. We provide you with the most up to date news, rumours and analysis right here on Locked On Blue Jays.
