The Toronto Blue Jays have their own list of problems regarding two players, Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette. But in recent days, those problems seem to be going away.
Source: Ernie Clement and the Blue Jays have agreed at $4.6 million to avoid arbitration.

A Toronto restaurant is sweetening the pot for Bichette with a juicy offer if the free-agent shortstop stays in Toronto.
Bo Bichette remains one of the biggest names remaining on the free-agent market. And at least one steakhouse is willing to go to serious lengths to keep him in Toronto.

Game 7 ended more agonizingly, with a plethora of opportunities squandered late.
