Framber Valdez, a two-time All-Star lefty, remains a top free agent with potential six-year $199 million deal projections, attracting multiple MLB teams including the Blue Jays.
- On Tuesday, Jon Heyman reported the Toronto Blue Jays are among several teams interested in free agent left-handed starter Framber Valdez, writing, `Jays are among several teams that have interest in top free agent starter Framber Valdez, @Joelsherman1 and I have learned @nypostsports.`
- Mark Feinsand wrote, `Toronto clearly has money to spend, evidenced by its serious bid for Kyle Tucker`, and GM Ross Atkins appears willing to add pitching despite a righty-heavy rotation.
- Statistically, Framber Valdez posted a 3.66 ERA and excelled at forcing ground balls last year, while Spotrac and offseason reports projected deals near $200 million.
- Adding Valdez would give the Blue Jays arguably the best rotation and significantly boost their World Series chances this year, pairing with Dylan Cease.
- Just days before spring training, Valdez's market shows interest is opening up as teams pursue short-term, high-AAV deals with opt-outs, including the Blue Jays and others, analysts say.
