The Blue Jays are being pushed to chase James Tibbs III, a Dodgers outfield prospect who just launched 30 homers at Triple-A.

The pitch came in a recent Sports Illustrated piece from Adam Steinmetz, who listed Tibbs among the trade targets who could fix Toronto's biggest problem this offseason.

And that problem isn't hard to find. Toronto hit the fewest home runs in baseball in 2026 and finished last in the majors in runs scored.

Tibbs did the opposite in Oklahoma City. Over 141 games, he added 32 doubles and drove in 107 runs.

He still hasn't made his MLB debut. Blame a Dodgers depth chart so stacked that there's no open lane for a young bat to break through.

Steinmetz framed it with a line any Bay Street broker would enjoy. He wrote that the name sounds like a commodities trader, "and for the Dodgers, that is a commodity."

Tyler Rogers or Mason Fluharty could be the price of admission

The proposed currency is relief pitching. Steinmetz called the bullpen the Dodgers' weakest spot and suggested Toronto deal from a strength.

His names were Tyler Rogers and Mason Fluharty. One of those arms for a bat that could push for a big-league job next spring.

That's a deal Ross Atkins should make before lunch. A reliever for a ready-made power bat is the kind of trade a last-place team takes every time it's offered.

Is there risk? Of course, because Triple-A production doesn't always carry over and Tibbs has yet to see a single big-league pitch.

Prospects stuck behind the Dodgers are like junior associates at a firm packed with senior partners. Plenty of talent, no cases to argue.

Toronto can hand him cases. With George Springer, Daulton Varsho and Jesus Sanchez off the books, there's real room in the lineup for a young hitter to earn at-bats.

A swap like this also protects the budget. It leaves the payroll room Mark Shapiro talked about free for the bigger free-agent swings this roster still needs.

The question is whether Los Angeles sees it the same way. Teams that deep rarely need to sell, and the Dodgers know exactly how hungry Toronto is.
