Blue Jays may consider trading Gausman and Varsho by deadline
Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are currently 40-46 as of July 1, raising concerns about their playoff chances. With the MLB trade deadline approaching on August 3, analysts suggest the team might need to entertain trade offers for players Daulton Varsho and Kevin Gausman. Injuries to key players and underwhelming performance have contributed to what is being described as a disappointing season for Toronto, following their near World Series appearance last year. The team remains only 3.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, but their situation could worsen, prompting them to consider selling at the deadline.
