The Toronto Blue Jays will consider trading George Springer ahead of the 2026 MLB trade deadline. Despite their willingness to deal the veteran outfielder, finding a taker is complicated by a weak market for right-handed hitting designated hitters. Springer's performance this season has been below average, with a.234 batting average through 78 games and limited interest from teams for this position. If a trade cannot be executed, the Blue Jays may retain Springer for the rest of the season, despite their desire to move expiring contracts.
- •Toronto is looking to sell at the trade deadline.
- •George Springer is in the final year of his contract.
- •He is struggling with a.234 batting average this season.
- •Limited demand for right-handed hitting designated hitters complicates trade talks.
- •Blue Jays may end up keeping Springer if no trade partners are found.
