FLUSHING, N.Y. (PIX11) — From a 2024 NLCS appearance to the signing of former Yankee star outfielder Juan Soto in the offseason, Mets fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about the upcoming season.

The Toronto Blue Jays finally added a star to their roster, but it might be too little, too late. The team is facing a critical 2025 season as homegrown superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to earn $28.5 million in his final year of arbitration eligibility before becoming a free agent. The Blue Jays might have to offer as much as $500 million to retain Guerrero beyond that, but they'll also have to convince him he can have some postseason success if he stays. After missing the playoffs with a losing record in 2024, the Blue Jays will need to make a big statement in 2025 to convince Guerrero they will continue to be a winning franchise.

One addition the A's could still stand to make would be a left-handed relief pitcher. The Toronto Blue Jays have just made available someone that fits the A's needs, when they designated left-hander Brandon Eisert for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Anthony Santander. While Eisert isn't a big-league veteran by any means, having pitched in a total of three games with the Jays, he's a lefty that gets ground balls, which are two attributes the A's have been after this winter. Selected by the Blue Jays in the 18th round of the 2019 MLB Draft, Eisert made his pro debut in 2021 and soared through three levels in their system, ultimately reaching Double-A. The past three seasons have all been spent entirely in Triple-A Buffalo where he holds a 12-8 record and a 3.83 ERA across a combined 183 1/3 innings.

After missing out on other top free agents, Toronto gets an injection of power in the lineup with the switch-hitting slugger.

Santander put up career numbers as a pending free agent in 2024, slugging 44 home runs with Baltimore.

For Dodgers fans, it’s cause for celebration. For the rest of the league, it’s a disappointing conclusion and another reason to gripe and groan about the growing might of MLB’s new evil empire.
