Remnants of the Toronto Blue Jays existed everywhere you looked this past October. From the Cleveland Indians lineup to the New York Yankees rotation to the bottle-popping World Series celebration of the Boston Red Sox, there were many players who once suited up at Rogers Centre.

As hot stove boils over this off-season, you’re going to see several more.

Here’s a look at some former Blue Jays and where they stand as they venture into the free agent market…

Josh Donaldson

1.3 WAR (FanGraphs) | 8 HR | .246/.352/.449

Donaldson showed flashes of brilliance during his brief tenure with the Indians and that could be enough to convince interested teams that he’s over nagging calf issues. The former MVP figures to have his share of suitors, but age will play a factor — he turns 33 on Dec. 8 and that could make some teams hesitant to commit long-term.

J.A. Happ

3.2 WAR | 3.65 ERA | 177.2 innings | 193 strikeouts | 51 walks

Happ is among the better starting pitchers available and only increased his value following a midseason trade to the Yankees (2.69 ERA over 63.2 innings). What remains to be seen is what the 36-year-old left-hander desires. Does he covet the chance to join contender? Or will he seek a situation that provides optimal comfort — he appeared to love Toronto and the Blue Jays could certainly use a veteran innings-eater.

Steve Pearce

1.6 WAR | 11 HR | .284/.378/.512

No player on this list — and no player outside of Nathan Eovaldi — improved his free agent stock down the stretch and during the playoffs in the way that Pearce did. He proved to be a dangerous right-handed bat in the powerful BoSox lineup immediately after his late-June trade from Toronto and authored an emphatic exclamation point with his Fall Classic performance.

He belted three key homers and drove in eight runs to capture World Series MVP honours. Granted, that output won’t land Pearce an exorbitant contract. At age 35, he is what he is. And that’s a productive hitter who, when healthy, can elevate a good lineup to greater heights.

Curtis Granderson

0.9 WAR | 13 HR | .242/.351/.431

The Brewers were one victory away from a World Series berth, but they fell short, leaving Granderson still in pursuit of an elusive ring. Over his 15-year career he has played on eight post-season bound teams, including three World Series losers. Will another contender take a chance on him as the left-handed side of an outfield platoon? Granderson is beloved in clubhouses across baseball, but he’ll be 38 by opening day and his wins above replacement total has declined in each of the past four campaigns.

Jesse Chavez

1.2 WAR | 2.55 ERA | 95.1 innings | 92 strikeouts | 17 walks

This is a different Jesse Chavez than the one Blue Jays fans briefly became acquainted with in 2012 and again in 2016. The right-hander is coming off the best season of his career, thanks in part to a change in arm slot. The tweak led to a career-low 4.5 per cent walk rate and a slight uptick in velocity that helped him become a vital piece of the Cubs bullpen.

Marco Estrada

0.5 WAR | 5.64 ERA | 143.2 innings | 103 strikeouts | 50 walks

Estrada struggled in 2017, then signed a one-year extension with the Blue Jays in the off-season. That probably won’t happen again this winter. The 35-year-old changeup artist battled injuries and diminished fastball velocity in 2018 and casting forward, doesn’t appear to offer the durability that Toronto figures to demand of a rotation signee.

Some Estrada stats to consider: From 2015 to 2016, he pitched to a combined 3.30 ERA and 4.28 FIP. The last two seasons, those figures dipped to 5.27 ERA and 4.97 FIP.

Jose Bautista

1.0 WAR | 13 HR | .203/.348/.378

Bautista reportedly wants to play next season and prefers to join a contending team. But like Granderson, he’s not going to be an easy sell for his representatives. In 2018 he largely improved from the prior season, when he was a sub-replacement player, but his numbers are still nowhere close to the level of production that he became known for. His .727 OPS was one point below the MLB average while his 27.8 strikeout percentage represented his worst showing since 2004, when he tallied just 96 plate appearances.

Francisco Liriano

0.3 WAR | 4.58 ERA | 133.2 innings | 110 strikeouts | 73 walks

The left-hander moved back to the rotation following a stint in Houston’s bullpen at the end of 2017, but like several players on this list, the 35-year-old is a shade of his former self. Liriano was once revered for a devastating slider that helped create several seasons where he registered more than a strikeout per inning. This past season, though, he produced just a 7.4 K/9 rate, the lowest of his career.
