MLB Trade Deadline Showdown: Which Blockbuster Moves Will Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, and Astros Risk to Dominate the Season?
Toronto Blue Jays: Starting pitching
The vibes are so immaculate north of the border right now that it’s hard to believe this team needs to change anything. That said, in a competitive AL East with multiple teams looking to improve at the deadline, now is not the time for Toronto to get complacent and assume their current roster is good enough to hold off the Yankees or Red Sox, let alone the other AL playoff teams in the wild-card mix. As with the Cubs, this is a golden opportunity for Toronto to push some chips in and acquire an impact starter to not only increase their chances of winning the division but also help the team make a meaningful run in October. The Blue Jays boast three quality veteran right-handers in Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt and Jose Berrios (plus a total wild card in Max Scherzer), but none qualifies as a slam-dunk candidate to inspire confidence as a postseason starter. As such, Toronto should be aggressive in adding.
