So there will be Kiermeier, Turner-esque replacment of some ilk, probably some vets brought in to bolster the pen. The Bargers and Lukes and Horowitz may get a better sniff but, especially if Atkins stays, given one last chance its pedal to the metal with "win now".

Even if he's gone and a new manager and a new GM, there is expectation of playoffs next year or those premium seats they keep adding will take a bigger hit for 2026.
If they want to out of last place in the AL east, they are going to need to add power and key offensive players to the lineup. Starting with a true DH,

Last season off season was a "F" , Kiermeier, Turner etc those made zero sense.

As for the bull pen, Jays will try to piece together pitchers from all over the place.

Management team is the problem however, no clue what will be addressed with that area.
