The MLB GM Meetings are well underway in Las Vegas, and with a lot of offseason shopping to be done, where do the Blue Jays stand with the biggest free agents? Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson Smith joins Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi from the lobby of the Cosmopolitan Hotel to discuss the Jays and how they are perceived with other teams around the league (1:25). Afterwards, Sho and Daniele discuss the prospects of bringing back Bo Bichette, and where the Jays could dabble with the free agent market for starting pitchers. Plus, John Schneider finished second in voting for AL Manager of the Year - was it a snub (31:19)?

On a special Monday afternoon edition of Jays Talk, Sho Alli takes a final look back at Game 7 of the World Series, and takes your texts on the ending for the 2025 Blue Jays. He chats with Daniele Franceschi (6:02), Jesse Rubinoff (27:24), Zach Worden (52:33), and Ian Harrison (1:19:21) to get their thoughts on the final game of the season, and to look ahead at what's next. They get into the future of Bo Bichette, whether or not Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Chris Bassitt (among others) will return, and what the starting rotation could look like in 2026, including specific free agents that could make an impact in Toronto. Plus, if there is a lockout looming in 2027, could the Jays spend more cash this coming offseason with the future of the sport a little more uncertain than usual?
