The Toronto Blue Jays have a lot of big contracts coming up including Daulton Varsho who will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of next season.
Varsho still have one year of arbitration left before he becomes a free agent at the end of the 2026 season but it is never too early to start looking ahead on if they should keep him long term.
Update announced regarding Daulton Varsho's contract extension
According to Buster Olney, the Blue Jays could be interested in trading Varsho since they would get a solid return for him since he would not just be a rental until the end of the season.
That includes Buster Olney of ESPN, who wrote that if the Blue Jays make him available, he'd have incredible value around the league. He isn't a free agent until after the 2026 season, meaning teams might be even more interested in landing him as he wouldn't be a one-year rental. -Conahan
«The Jays would probably draw a lot of interest for Daulton Varsho, an elite defender who won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2026 season,» -Olney
While the Blue Jays would definitely get a great return for Varsho, it makes absolutely no sense to trade a player who is arguably the best defensive outfielder in baseball when you are trying to win games.
Some say that the Blue Jays should hold off on extension talks with Varsho as they should see if he can continue to produce offensively like he has over the course of the entire season.
Would you give Daulton Varsho an extension and what would it look like?
While having Varsho continuing to hit well is definetely important, keeping him around for the next few years on a new deal has nothing really to do with his offense and a lot more to do with his defensive game.
