"The Blue Jays could get a haul if they enter the deadline as sellers Recent trades around the league have resulted in some high end prospects being moved for top tier MLB talent, and if that trend continues into the summer, the Blue Jays may could reap some of those benefits with who they could dangle at the deadline. The Washington Nationals just got five of the Rangers' Top 25 prospects in exchange for pitcher Mackenzie Gore."
"Freddy Peralta netted the Brewers two of the Top 100 prospects on Baseball America's list. So right there were have three examples of the types of players that teams are willing to conceded to get a player they think will help them win now and the Blue Jays have a few of those types of guys on their roster that might not be back in 2026."
"The Toronto Blue Jays have every intention of once again fighting for the AL East division title in 2026 and defending their AL Championship deep into the postseason. However, sometimes things don't always turn out the way you planned. Look no further than the Baltimore Orioles who won the AL East in 2023 after winning101 games. They followed that up with a 91 win season in '24, earning a Wild Card spot, and then failed to make the playoffs in 2025."
The Toronto Blue Jays intend to compete for the AL East and defend their AL Championship in 2026, but past examples show standings can reverse quickly. The Baltimore Orioles won101 games in 2023, posted 91 wins in 2024 for a Wild Card, and missed the playoffs in 2025. The Blue Jays' offseason roster construction makes them likely Wild Card contenders, but a disaster plan could force them to sell at the deadline. Recent trades have commanded high-end prospects for established MLB talent, with the Nationals, White Sox and Brewers receiving major prospect packages. Veterans such as George Springer could draw substantial returns.
