Toronto Blue Jays Consider Trading Superstars

The Toronto Blue Jays face a critical juncture as they missed the postseason in 2024 and failed to secure major free-agent signings like Juan Soto and Max Fried. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. possibly heading to free agency, trade rumors are swirling, particularly involving a predicted move to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Triston Casas. MLB insider Jim Bowden suggested that if Guerrero is traded, the return would likely be disappointing compared to past trades, as he would only have half a season left on his deal by the 2025 All-Star break. The Blue Jays are also considering trading Bo Bichette to the Seattle Mariners for top prospects to rebuild a weak farm system. Despite these trade talks, the Blue Jays are still actively pursuing contract extensions for Guerrero and Bichette to keep their competitive window open. The future of the franchise hinges on their ability to retain these stars or capitalize on potential trades.
