The Blue Jays have some level of interest in and as they evaluate their options at designated hitter, . Thats part of a wide net being cast by the front office, as Nicholson-Smith reiterates previously reported ties to , and as well. Toronto has a vacancy at DH with returning to the open market. Bringing in a left-handed bat to complement a lineup led by , , and would be Justin Holiday Jersey ideal, but the interest in Martinez suggests theyre not limiting themselves solely to lefty hitters. GM Ro s Atkins has alluded to the potential for multiple lineup additions, after all. The Jays could add a right-handed DH while bringing in a lefty bat in the outfield. Hoskins lost the 2023 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during Spring Training. Hed likely have made it back as a DH or pinch-hitting option had the Phillies made the World Series. While that didnt happen, the 30-year-old (31 in March) projects as one of the better offensive players on the market. Hoskins has been a consistent middle-of-the-order presence throughout his career, compiling a .242/.353/.492 line. He has hit between 27 and 34 home runs in each of the four full seasons hes played while running better than average walk rates on an annual basis. Turner has been a consistently strong lineup presence as well. He hasnt had a below-average offensive season since his 2014 breakout with the Dodgers. At age 39, hes no longer suited for 140+ starts at third base. Yet Turner could serve as a primary DH while rotating in at the hot corner, where the Jays have a question with still in free agency. Turner is still more than capable of handling a primary DH role. Hes coming off an impre sive .276/.345/.455, 23-homer showing for the Red Sox. It doesnt seem either player is a priority target for the Toronto front office. Nicholson-Smith suggests the Jays could wait out the market for another few weeks to determine whether anyone in a broad group of hitters of interest presents strong value later in the offseason. Hoskins has also drawn reported interest from the Cubs, Mariners and Nationals. Turner has been on the radar of the incumbent Red Sox, Mets and Diamondbacks. MLBTR predicted Hoskins to land a two-year, $36MM guarantee that allows him to opt out after next season, although a standard one-year pillow contract is also po sible. Turner seems likelier to sign for one year given his age, but he could also command a salary in the $16-18MM range. Andre Iguodala Jersey
