The baseball winter meetings start Monday in Dallas. The big news is expected to be a Juan Soto signing, possibly as early as Sunday evening. There are many other players looking for a new team and a Soto signing would start the process of getting other players off the shelf. There are several very good pitchers yet to sign.
In the old days the winter meetings used to see plenty of trades. That aspect of the meetings has dimmed over the last few years but we should see at least a couple of trades next week. The Jays are looking to get involved in the trade market, but might have to wait until some of the better players sign.
Tuesday sees the draft lottery. The Jays have a 7.5% chance of getting the number one pick. That won't help the 2025 major league team but it could be good news.
Wednesday is rule 5 draft day and traditionally the end of the meetings.
So, here we go, will we know more about the 2025 Jays at the end of next week?
