The Blue Jays have been in contact with Corbin Burnes but despite them having the biggest offer on the table for him, he has yet to sign as he would prefer signing with the Giants if they could raise their offer.
The Blue Jays are in trouble when it comes to finding a starting pitcher as Sean Manaea and Walker Buehler sign elsewhere
The Blue Jays have been vocal about wanting to bring in a starting pitcher this off-season with Burnes been their top priority but with him still holding out on their offer it does not look promising.
Toronto did have a couple backup options if Burnes ended up signing elsewhere with pitchers Sean Manaea and Walker Buehler but they both signed yesterday putting the Blue Jays in some serious trouble.
Buehler ended up signing with the Boston Red Sox on a great deal for one year worth $21.05 million which could have been a solid contract for the Blue Jays.

One of the Dodgers' World Series heroes and a two-time All-Star will join a rebuilt Red Sox rotation.
BREAKING: Left-hander Sean Manaea and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $75 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The 32-year-old is running it back with the Mets.
Blue Jays fans were quite upset with the signings as the Blue Jays could have easily afforded both of these deals but have decided to wait to see where Burnes will go.
