The Blue Jays have shown early interest in free agent Brandon Lowe.

It’d be a surprise if the Jays don’t walk away with one of the winter’s top position player free agents, and it works out especially well for them that most of the best players in the class are corner outfielders and second basemen, which rate as the Jays’ biggest needs at the moment. The Jays are plenty familiar with Lowe from all of his time with the Rays, and he’s hit .280/.363/.550 at Rogers Center in his career.
