The Blue Jays finished 74-88 in 2024, last in the AL East, after missing out on Shohei Ohtani to the LA Dodgers. The team entered the deadline with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette both set for free agency after the next offseason, and Guerrero Jr. not yet resigned. George Springer posted back-to-back subpar seasons, the bullpen was thinned, and rotation depth was lacking. At the July 26 deadline start, Yimi Garcia was traded to the Seattle Mariners for Jonatan Clase and Jacob Sharp, with Garcia allowing six earned runs on seven hits in nine innings for Seattle. Two years later, nearly all deadline deals have worked in Toronto’s favor, with GM Ross Atkins credited for securing quality assets.
