The Toronto Blue Jays are projected to be trade deadline sellers this summer, with a current record of 48-58, 14.5 games back in the AL East. Despite this disappointing season, analyst Mitch Bannon predicts they will also acquire a controllable starting pitcher. Possible targets include Jose Soriano, Reid Detmers, and Nick Lodolo, all of whom offer multiple years of contract control. This strategy could address future rotation needs while acknowledging the challenges of 2026. The MLB trade deadline is set for August 3.
