Blair & Barker · Blue Jays' Offseason Options with David Samson · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

Can I comment on saying the free agent market isn't that great? voice-verified

Absolutely. voice-verified

That's the musings of somebody who's not in a front office. voice-verified

I don't need a GM to tell me to sign Shohei Otani as a free agent. voice-verified

I'm looking for someone like the Kansas City front office to sign Seth Lugo to a three-year deal and have him outperform his contract. voice-verified

Every year there are free agents who are signed that get poo-pooed by the media, but voice-verified

There's a reason they're signed, and every once in a while, like every year, there's free agents who outperform their free agent deals because the front office saw something in that player that was going to be a good fit for that team at that particular moment. voice-verified

So no front office has ever gone into an offseason saying, uh, the free agent market stinks. voice-verified

There's no hitting, there's no pitching. voice-verified

That's hogwash. voice-verified

There's always hitting, pitching, and voice-verified

Defense available on the free agent market. voice-verified

It's the good front offices who find those free agents. voice-verified

And the question is, are Shapiro Atkins, is that duo, a front office that does that, or do they want to be like the Dodgers, where you just sign the best of the best and every once in a while it doesn't work, but the majority of the time it does work. voice-verified

And this offseason will be interesting to see which way the Blue Jays go. voice-verified

I can't wait. voice-verified

You do. voice-verified

I'm happy to give a player who I traded away an ovation before the game. voice-verified

I'm happy to do a 30 second video if the player was nice on the way out the door. voice-verified

But a curtain call? voice-verified
