"The team is going to be heavily involved in the free agent market, already being considered the favourite to land Kyle Tucker. There's also a strong chance they'll be active on the trade market, as was the case last season. General manager Ross Atkins has already noted that they've engaged with other teams about trades, but there are a few prospects the Blue Jays should look to avoid trading. Let's take a look at three of them."
"the 22-year-old right-handed pitcher had a rapid ascent up the minor league ladder, reaching all four "A" levels. By the end of the season, Yesavage found his way on the big league team, making three starts where he had a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 innings pitched. Yesavage made the Blue Jays' postseason roster and even had two historic starts, Game 2 against the New York Yankees and Game 5 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series."
"He's their ace of the future, but the Blue Jays may get the added benefit of an additional draft pick. The prospect promotion incentive pick was introduced in 2022, and if Yesavage were to win the 2026 Rookie of the Year award, the Jays would get a pick following the first round, a huge benefit in terms of bonus pool money. Under no circumstances should the Blue Jays trade Yesavage."
The team plans heavy involvement in the free-agent market and is considered the favourite to land Kyle Tucker. There is a strong chance of trade activity, and GM Ross Atkins has engaged with other teams. A few prospects should be avoided in trades. Trey Yesavage, drafted 20th overall in 2024, rapidly rose through all four 'A' levels to reach the big league team, making three starts with a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 innings, joining the postseason roster and starting in the World Series. Yesavage could generate an extra draft pick if he wins 2026 Rookie of the Year. JoJo Parker, a 2025 draftee eligible to be traded, ranks 43rd in MLB Pipeline, features a 60-grade hit tool and 55-grade power, and will likely move from shortstop to third or second base.
