The Toronto Blue Jays plan on making some big moves at the upcoming trade deadline at the latest report suggests they might look to move Daulton Varsho.
During yesterday's press conference, GM Ross Atkins stated that he plans on going after a right handed hitter at the trade deadline and some pitching depth but did not specify if it is for the bullpen or starting rotation.
Blue Jays might be looking to trade outfielder Daulton Varsho at the trade deadline
The Blue Jays are still without Varsho who went down with a hamstring injury a couple weeks ago but have still managed to play very well as they are only a couple games behind the New York Yankees in first place.
According to reports, the Blue Jays could be interested in trading Varsho since he only has one year left or arbitration and if they decide to trade him next year, they will get a much smaller return.
The Gold Glove center fielder is on the injured list again. He also has one arbitration season remaining. It certainly begs the question of whether the Jays should deal him and get something in return before his value drops. -Postins
While Varsho is clearly the Blue Jays best outfielder and defender, they have been playing very well without him in the lineup plus they currently have a surplus of outfielder which is why this move could somewhat make sense.
Without him the second time around this season Toronto has thrived and found ways around his absence in the lineup. If Toronto feels it has enough to continue without him, dealing him for some relief help wouldn't be out of the question. -Postins
While there are other options for Toronto to trade at the deadline when it comes to outfielders, none would bring back the same return if they are looking to make a big splash before playoffs.
While it should not be their first choice for the deadline, it might not necessarily be a bad option to explore in case other moves don't pan out.
