The Toronto Blue Jays face a condensed offseason schedule of roster decisions before the MLB collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1st. Key deadlines in November include addressing eight free agents, handling contract options, and managing eight arbitration-eligible players projected to cost approximately $27.3 million combined.
