The Blue Jays appear ready to give their elite one core one last run.
The Toronto Blue Jays sold off a number of assets at the Major League Baseball trade deadline including pitchers Yusei Kikuchi, Yimi Garcia and Nate Pearson. They also dealt away position players Danny Jansen, Kevin Kiermaier and Justin Turner.
Despite that, the Jays did not go in a full sell-off mode, electing to keep high-profile players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassitt. The decision to keep those names signifies that the Jays appear willing to give their elite foundation one last chance to make a deep playoff run before Guerroro Jr. and Bichette become free agents after the 2025 season.
Despite overtures on a number of those players, GM Ross Atkins told reporters they never had any intention of dealing away Guerrero Jr. or Bichette.Ross Atkins was asked on his zoom call by @iananywhere how close he was to trading Vladdy Guerrero Jr., and/or Bo Bichette:While you always need to take what executives say with a grain of salt, this appears believable by Atkins. As stated above, Toronto kept all of its high-profile players who were under team control for multiple years.
