Roster, Front-Office and Offseason Housekeeping

Toronto’s offseason churn includes David Bell’s departure and Frank Herrmann’s move to the Yankees, alongside several players electing free agency and minor-league depth moves. Toronto reportedly added Dominican pitcher Julio Chivilli and signed Taiwanese left-hander Cheng-Hao Wu; these are developmental additions, not immediate rotation solutions. Arbitration, Rule 5 protection and roster congestion remain unresolved ahead of the Nov. 20 non-tender and Dec. 9 Rule 5 dates; the reported 2028 labor cap and floor remain a proposal.
