A ton has happened over the last few days, which has given us time to break down the transactions, the effect Ross Atkins has on this roster, and how the pitching (specifically the bullpen) will look in 2025. Today, we focus on the batting order and position players within the organization. The Blue Jays' offense struggled immensely last season, only having one hitter eclipse the 20-home-run mark in 2024. In this episode, we give our thoughts on the current state of the Blue Jays batting order and how confident we are in a bounceback season from this lineup. How good is this Blue Jays lineup? What would it look like if the season started tomorrow? What profile should Ross Atkins target for this free agency? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

We decided to take two days to cover the craziness at the start of this week. Yimi Garcia has returned to the Toronto Blue Jays after being traded to the Seattle Mariners during the 2024 trade deadline. Garcia was one of the only positives to come out of the Blue Jays bullpen last season, as he needed to work in high leverage, as the set-up man and even as the closer at times in 2024. Where does this signing leave the Blue Jays bullpen? What will Yimi Garcia be expected of in 2025? Will this be the last bullpen signing of this off-season? Will Yimi Garcia help the bullpen improve for the upcoming season? We’ll answer all these questions and provide you with the most up-to-date Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
