The Toronto Blue Jays have made quite the splash in the last 12-plus hours.

Toronto signed star free-agent center fielder George Springer to a six-year, $150 million contract on Tuesday night. Shortly after signing Springer, it was reported the Blue Jays were hot after Michael Brantley, who was Springer's teammate in Houston.

General manager Ross Atkins is on the verge of securing a three-year deal with Brantley as discussions continue to heat up between the two parties. Initially, a deal was in place, but now it's said to still be in the works.

The addition of both Springer and Brantley would give Toronto one of the most loaded lineups in baseball.

Brantley is one of the steadiest left-handed bats in the game. He hit .309 with a .867 OPS in his two years in Houston and would give the Blue Jays lineup that much more balance with his consistent ability to generate contact and drive the ball to all fields.

However, there is also quite a bit of crowding in the outfield. Springer figures to replace Randal Grichuk in center. Brantley could spend some time as the designated hitter, but those at-bats are mostly reserved for Rowdy Tellez, unless Tellez plays first base and the Blue Jays move Vladimir Guerrero Jr. back to third base.

Whichever way you slice it, the Blue Jays still have a plethora of outfielders. Teoscar Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. might become trade bait if Toronto looks to acquire a controllable starting pitcher, such as Luis Castillo or Sonny Gray.

Regardless, it would seem MLB's Hot Stove is heating up after months of dormancy. The Blue Jays are also seizing their opportunity to make impact moves with the rest of the American League East mostly resting on its laurels.
