In doing so, they have set the market for other teams and have acquired players they absolutely love, but may have overpaid in the process. In this episode, we discuss the 2025 pitching staff compared to the 2026 staff to this point, breaking down the risk-reward ratio of acquiring Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, as well as our expectation of how they could be deployed in the upcoming seasons.

Today we discuss Daulton Varsho and his future with the Toronto Blue Jays. Many falls still have a bitter taste in their mouths after Varsho’s performance in the World Series, but he is still a valueable player for any major league club. The Blue Jays are still looking for Varsho to capture the offensive firepower he showcased in 2022, but he has been in MLB for six seasons, and hasn’t been able to show consistency offensively over 162 games. In this episode, we break down how we perceive Daulton Varsho not only for 2026, but for a possible extension with the Blue Jays organization. We provide you with the most up to date news, storylines and analysis right here on Locked On Blue Jays.
