The Toronto Blue Jays made a major impact on the baseball world when they won the AL pennant and came within a game of winning the World Series this past season. However, just because they got so close to a title doesn’t mean they didn’t see room for improvement, and with one fell swoop, they found themselves a new potential ace for their rotation.

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the mega deal that Dylan Cease received from the Blue Jays, as he finalized a 7-year, $210 million contract to hopefully lead them right back to the World Series next year. Did Toronto jump the gun a little too quickly to bring in the seven-year veteran or were they right to strike before any other team could bid for Cease’s services?

Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the other moves that saw pitchers finding new homes, including the Boston Red Sox trading for St. Louis Cardinals starter Sonny Gray, the New York Mets signing Devin Williams to a three-year deal and the Baltimore Orioles bringing in Ryan Helsley to help with their bullpen. Then the guys take a look back at their bold predictions for the 2025 season and whether any actually came true.
