As a baseball fan, I'd love to see one right away, but I don't judge time as a factor. Most important thing is what this team is going to look like in the spring. I think the Jays are in a good spot here, they have a lot of trade assets, some money to spend outside of Adam Lind, no bad contracts. It's been a depressing 3/4 of a year for Blue Jays fans, but take a step back and this team is really not in that bad of a place.
The Red Sox are a total and complete mess. While I think they're a much more attractive free agency landing spot as we know ownership will pay and the history of this franchise entices a lot of players, they're still faced with a ton of question marks and no real strength in their lineup, rotation or bullpen.
Yankees are aging incredibly fast. Their rotation is in shambles and they'll lose Swisher. Again they have so much money and the onfield talent to attract big names. Still not a daunting task as it once was.
Baltimore relied on a lot of luck this season. Their offense is for real but that rotation is below average. Now a management group that has made questionable decision after questionable decision has a ton of key ones to make this offseason and history is not on their side.
The Rays still remain a force to be reckoned with because they have the best set of arms in the league and have them all locked down.
The Jays just need some good PR moving forward, forget this season ever happened and move ahead. I think people will be surprised how quickly things get positive around this team again if they have a strong offseason
