Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter, project New York to pursue the 36-year-old free agent this offseason.
- The move is framed as a bridge while Cole rehabs from Tommy John surgery and Rodón recovers from elbow surgery, with Opening Day returns unlikely.
- Bassitt, a former All-Star and American League wins leader, impressed in a swingman role during Toronto’s run to the World Series.
- His market is expected to center on short-term offers, with Spotrac projecting roughly two years and $31 million.
- The Blue Jays are expected to try to keep Bassitt, though reporting notes a realistic chance he departs in free agency.
