The buzz around league circles continues to be positive in the Toronto Blue Jays' favor.

Now, it's important to note that there's a long offseason ahead and outside of Josh Naylor and Raisel Iglesias, there haven't been any big deals. But if you're a Blue Jays fan, the rumors point to something big happening.

USA Today MLB insider Bob Nightengale continued this trend on Thursday by predicting that the organization will get a deal done with either Bo Bichette or Kyle Tucker, plus a pitcher.

"I think they're either going to sign Bichette or Tucker, but not both, and they're going to spend other money on a starting pitcher." Nightengale said in a clip shared to social media by "Blue Jays Today." "Whether it's a Framber Valdez or a Japanese pitcher. I think getting a starting pitcher is more important to them than bringing back two offensive players. I do believe all winter long, they're going to be connected to everybody. I really do believe that."

The Blue Jays were just a couple of outs away from winning the World Series this fall. Imagine if this club could bring back Bichette or sign Tucker, plus a pitcher? In that scenario, there's no reason why the club couldn't make a deep run again a year from now.
