Toronto Blue Jays
Although there have been whispers that the Toronto Blue Jays are considering a blockbuster trade involving Bo Bichette or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in July, a recent report indicates that the franchise has already held talks with teams over this possibility.
The Blue Jays, who have a 21-26 record, are dead bottom in the American League East Standings going into today’s MLB games. After two consecutive postseason appearances, Toronto has dropped four of their previous six games, and their prospects of making it to the postseason for a third straight year are not looking good.
The squad faces the unfortunate circumstance of playing in the same division as two of the greatest teams in baseball, the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles, even if players like Bo Bichette, Daulton Varsho, and George Springer can overcome their early-season slumps and get back on the right track.
Because of this, there have been rumors that the Blue Jays may be selling players before the MLB trade deadline on July 30. They do, after all, have a number of players who would be highly sought after by teams across the league. Among them, rising talents Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stand out the most. Even though both players are free agents after 2025, many have questioned whether the team will still move the two building blocks.

On the other hand, a recent report indicates that talks on deals involving the two domestic All-Stars have already begun.
An executive said on Tuesday to MLB.com league insider Mark Feinsand, “I don’t think they’re opposed to it.” “They have discussed it with teams. The requests were absurd, but I believe they’ll try to retool a lot, and one way to achieve that would be to use those guys to get components.
Given that the Toronto Blue Jays have already held preliminary talks about dealing two players who were viewed as key players for their team going into the 2024 season, it is a significant revelation about where the team stands more than two months out from the MLB trade deadline and how they envision their season progressing.
