Blue Jays consider trading top prospect Nimmala ahead of deadline

The Toronto Blue Jays are in playoff contention despite a challenging season. With the trade deadline approaching, they may seek to improve their roster by potentially trading shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmala, ranked as MLB's No. 45 prospect. Nimmala, 20, is batting.303 this season at Double-A. The Blue Jays have a surplus of shortstops, including their top prospect JoJo Parker, which could make Nimmala an attractive trade chip if the team decides to pursue upgrades before the deadline.
