The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets seem to be the favorites to sign George Springer, according to a report.

Major League executives believe Springer's free agency is now "a two-team race."

Springer, 31, hit .265/.359/.540 in 189 at-bats during the 2020 season.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. split time between first base and designated hitter in 2020, but the Toronto Blue Jays will give him another chance to play third base going forward.

Toronto non-tendered third baseman Travis Shaw.

"You don't close a door to a talent like that," Charlie Montoyo said.

Guerrero expressed a desire to be an everyday third baseman earlier this month. He's been playing in the Dominican Winter League.

Charlie Montoyo says the same topic keeps coming up whenever the Toronto Blue Jays make a pitch to a free agent.

"The No. 1 question is if we're going to play in Toronto," Montoyo said. "That's rightly so. Our answer is, 'Yeah, we're hoping so.'"

The Blue Jays have yet to receive clearance to host games at Rogers Centre. Although Canadian officials allowed the Blue Jays to host their summer training camp in Toronto this past July, a request to play regular-season games north of the border was denied.

In a Dec. 11 conference call, Mark Shapiro shared Montoyo's optimism about playing games at Rogers Centre in 2021 but said he won't demand a firm answer from Canadian officials before his team meets in Dunedin, Florida, for spring training.

If the Blue Jays don't get permission to play in Toronto, they might choose to start in Dunedin, where the stadium was recently renovated and a brand-new complex just opened its doors.

Justin Turner is drawing interest from the Toronto Blue Jays as a free agent, according to a report.

The Blue Jays have been linked to a number of infielders and outfielders this offseason.

Turner, 36, has been with the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2014.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. is determined to prove to the Toronto Blue Jays that he's capable of handling third base in 2021.

Guerrero is playing in the Dominican Republic this winter to refine his skills.

"I came to Escogido to play third base and to prepare to play third," Guerrero said. "That's one of the main things I'm here for. I'm going to focus on third. Next year, I'm going back to my third base."

In 2019, Guerrero ranked last out of 218 infielders when it came to the Outs Above Average (OOA) defensive metric.

Jean Segura's name has been floated in trade rumors recently and the Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly interested.

Segura split time between second and third base for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020.

He is set to earn $14.85 million in 2021 and another $14.85 million in ’22. He also has a $17 million team option with a $1 million buyout in 2023.
