Blue Jays consider trade for Gleyber Torres amid struggles
Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking into a potential trade for Gleyber Torres, currently with the Detroit Tigers, as they face challenges in the middle infield following Bo Bichette's absence. Ernie Clement has performed well at second base, but Andres Gimenez is underperforming at shortstop. Torres, who has a $22 million qualifying offer, is identified as a valuable asset with a solid batting average of.280 this season. If the Tigers enter sell mode, Torres could be one of the veterans available. This potential trade could bolster the Blue Jays' lineup, particularly as they seek more offensive production.
