The Toronto Blue Jays have been rumored to be looking to trade pitcher Chris Bassitt and a recent trade has surfaced online with the Chicago Cubs that has been attracting a lot of attention.

A mock trade has been making some noise online that involves Bassitt heading to the Cubs in exchange for quite a few solid prospects which would help the Blue Jays start to rebuild their farm system.
Realistic Chris Bassitt mock trade
This move would make a ton of sense for the Blue Jays who would be a able to acquire 4 prospects in Matt Shaw, Owen Caissie, Cade Horton and Moises Ballesteros.
Trading Bassitt would also free up a spot in the Blue Jays starting rotation which would allow them some freedom to sign a new top tier starting pitcher which they have been rumored to be looking into.
Bassitt was solid in 2023 during his first season with the Blue Jays after signing in Toronto during the 2022 off-season as he put up a 3.60 ERA with a 16-8 record while striking out 186 batters.
In 2024, Bassitt's play declined a bit as he had a 4.16 ERA with a 10-14 record and 168 strikeouts but the real issue was his consistency since in some games he looked great while others he cost the team the game.
The Blue Jays need to look into trading him this off-season since he still holds some trade value and headed into the last year on his contract they should try and get something out of him while they still can.
