The reigning champion Dodgers and Blue Jays are the final teams standing from a pool that included the Yankees, Mets, Cubs, Rangers and Giants — with the Padres being taken out of the equation on Friday, according to Francys Romero.

Toronto Blue Jays lose out on signing Roki Sasaki, who chose the Dodgers, adding to their series of near-misses in free agency. This failure highlights Toronto's struggle to attract top talent and raises questions about the team’s direction and ability to retain key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

As the Blue Jays wait for Roki Sasaki's final decision, they swung a trade with the Guardians for an intriguing outfielder.
