Blue Jays have a number of questions to address in offseason: What's next?

After another disappointing baseball season in Toronto, the Blue Jays' decision-makers have a few questions they need to address this offseason if the team is going to make a real push for the playoffs next year.

1) What will the outfield look like?

With two-thirds of Toronto's starting outfield headed to free agency, there's a good chance there will be a new left fielder and centre fielder next to Jose Bautista in 2015.

It's already been decided that Colby Rasmus will not be back after he was benched in September and struggled throughout the season.

Melky Cabrera's status is a little more uncertain. He will likely receive the one-year/$15M qualifying offer from Toronto but the 30-year-old outfielder should command a multi-year deal on the open market and could bolt if a better offer is made for his services.

Earlier this month Cabrera expressed a desire to re-sign with the Blue Jays but Bautista isn't sold that GM Alex Anthopoulos and the front office will make it happen.

“I have to assume that [Cabrera will not re-sign]," Bautista told the National Post. "When you have the chance to re-sign one of the top free agents and you don’t take advantage of that opportunity, the chances of him coming back to you are pretty slim.”

If Cabrera doesn't return, what do the Jays do? Can they really move forward with Anthony Gose and Kevin Pillar full-time in the outfield? Where does Dalton Pompey fit in following his surprise September performance? Is there a veteran outfielder out there that will cost less than Cabrera and provide close to the same production?

Cabrera's been a top-20 offensive outfielder three of the last four years. If Toronto is serious about being a contender, they can ill afford to let him go.

2) How will the Blue Jays use their promising young pitchers?

Marcus Stroman joined the Blue Jays rotation at the end of May and never looked back. In 20 starts Stroman posted a 3.29 ERA/2.79 FIP. Drew Hutchison had his ups-and-downs but overall enjoyed a solid season for a pitcher in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. Aaron Sanchez arrived in Toronto near the end of July and immediately impressed in a relief role with the quality of his stuff and his poise on the mound.

Daniel Norris had a strong season in the minors and showed flashes of his potential during his September call-up. Kendall Graveman made the jump from A-ball to the big leagues in five short months.

Stroman and Hutchison seem set as starters but what about the other three? According to Anthopoulos the Blue Jays see Sanchez as a starter long-term but haven't ruled out the possibility of having him in the bullpen next year. Could he be a high-leverage reliever like Adam Wainwright was for St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 before he moved to the rotation?

Odds are Norris and Graveman will start the year in Triple-A although one or both of them could end up in Toronto's bullpen at some point in 2015.

3) Can the Blue Jays improve their infield depth?

Juan Francisco played the most innings at third base for the Blue Jays in 2014. Munenori Kawasaki was the innings leader at second base. That simply cannot happen again.

Anthopoulos has been on the record since early 2013 that he's been looking to acquire another infielder. The preference would be to find a second baseman so Brett Lawrie and his elite glove can remain at third. However, if the Jays can bring in a good third baseman, Lawrie could become the everyday second baseman.

Anthopoulos has also said that getting shortstop Jose Reyes more rest is a priority. Does that mean Ryan Goins sticks around as a slick fielding middle infielder? Or does Kawasaki slot in as the utility man? Maicer Izturis, who missed most of 2014 recovering from knee surgery, is another option.

A healthy Lawrie is the first step to fixing both the depth and Reyes issues. The next step is making sure they have the right pieces around should he go down again.

4) How much money does the front office have to work with?

This is the real key to how the offseason will unfold in Toronto. From the reports last year that the front office asked players to defer money to help with the team's pursuit of free agent starter Ervin Santana to not making a move at the trade deadline, no one's really sure exactly where the Jays sit financially.

We'll find out soon enough.
