The Toronto Blue Jays should be looking to make several moves this offseason after their nightmare 2026 season.
The Blue Jays finished the 2026 season with a 79-83 record and last in the AL East standings. When noting that they had high expectations heading into the season, they undoubtedly disappointed in a major way.
Now, with the offseason just getting started, the Blue Jays are already making a push for one of this year's top free agents.

According to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith, the Blue Jays are among the teams that are showing interest in star free agent Brandon Lowe early on this offseason.
"As the Toronto Blue Jays seek to augment the offence that ranked last in MLB in runs scored, they’ve shown interest in Brandon Lowe, the left-handed hitting second baseman who hit 36 home runs for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2026," Davidi and Nicholson-Smith wrote.

Hearing that the Blue Jays are interested in Lowe is very easy to understand. They desperately need offense, and bringing in a power hitter like Lowe would provide them with just that next season. In addition, the Blue Jays could use an upgrade at second base, and Lowe is this year's top free agent second baseman. Thus, there could be a very good match here if Lowe ends up signing with the Blue Jays.
If the Blue Jays signed Lowe, he would give them another star power hitter to work with in the middle of their batting order. He has been an impactful hitter for multiple seasons now, and that was definitely the case during the 2026 season.
In 150 games this season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Lowe posted 35 home runs, 96 RBI, and a .260 batting average. This was after he had 31 home runs, 83 RBI, and a .256 batting average in 134 games with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2025. With numbers like these, he would give Toronto's roster a major boost if brought in.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the Blue Jays can successfully sign Lowe this offseason. They will have a lot of competition in the sweepstakes after the season he just had for the Pirates in 2026.
