The Toronto Blue Jays have a ton of work to do this offseason to upgrade a roster that is in desperate need of a makeover. The current 40-man roster is littered with replaceable players who likely won't be enough to carry them to the postseason next year, despite the fact that Ross Atkins and Co. are still aiming for that.
The Blue Jays have a ton of pressure riding on their shoulders now that the Bo Bichette-Vladimir Guerrero Jr. era is slowly coming to an end. Both superstars are going to be free agents at the conclusion of the 2025 season.
Armed with an old and experienced roster, the Blue Jays have quite a few players who are out of minor league options ahead of 2025. There's also a ton of them who have been around so long that they no longer qualify for options. Springer, Guerrero, Bichette, Gausman, Berrios, Bassitt, Romano, Green, Swanson and Yariel Rodriguez all fit into the latter category.
Let's take a look around the Blue Jays' 40-man roster and identify which players are out of options. Non-tenders could easily wipe out some of the names on the list, but for now, this is what we're working with.
Every Blue Jays player who's out of minor league options ahead of 2025
Ernie Clement
Of all of the player who make the cut here, Clement is one of the ones in the least amount of danger. The 28-year-old really came into his own in 2024, becoming a fan favorite while having easily the best season of his big league career.
Making it into over 100 games (139) for the first time, Clement his 12 home runs, drove in 51 runs, stole 12 bases in 15 attempts and posted a respectable 95 OPS+. On defense, he bounced around all over the infield and even was a finalist for a Gold Glove at third base. He plays the game the right way on both sides of the ball and is a well-liked figure in the clubhouse and amongst fans because of it.
Clement is a part of the Blue Jays' wild infield logjam, but he's not going to be sent packing. He proved in 2024 that he can provide value in a number of different ways, so he'll be an important roster piece in 2025.
