The Toronto Blue Jays are ready to move well beyond just one bullpen arm before the deadline hits.
Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that in addition to Jeff Hoffman, Toronto is fielding offers on relievers Tyler Rogers, Spencer Miles and Mason Fluharty.
That's a genuinely deep list, suggesting this front office is willing to move almost any reliever if the return makes sense.
Rogers has been the standout of this group, posting a 1.69 ERA across 50 appearances, allowing zero home runs over 48 innings, numbers that make him one of the more attractive relief arms available anywhere this summer.
Miles brings real versatility to any potential trade, sitting at a 3.26 ERA with 66 strikeouts across 69 innings in a swing role that's bounced between starting and bulk relief work all season.
Fluharty adds a left-handed option to the mix, carrying a 3.72 ERA with 51 strikeouts over 46 innings across 56 appearances.
Hoffman remains the headline name, having excelled since moving out of the closer's role, sitting at a 4.11 ERA with 72 strikeouts across 46 innings.
Why this many arms being available makes sense right now
Toronto sits at 50-59, last in the American League East, a record that's made selling off nearly the entire bullpen a logical extension of the broader teardown already underway with names like Kevin Gausman and George Springer.
Making this many relievers available at once gives Toronto real flexibility in trade talks, allowing multiple deals with different partners rather than depending on a single team for bullpen help.
It's a bit like clearing out an entire section of a store rather than just one shelf, giving shoppers more to actually choose from all at once.
Does moving this many bullpen arms at once maximize Toronto's return, or does flooding the market with this many options risk driving down the price for each individual piece?
With the deadline arriving fast, expect real interest in at least a few of these names before the final buzzer sounds on this year's trade season.
