Blue Jays Trade Tracker

The MLB Trade Deadline is Monday, July 31st at 4 p.m. eastern and Jays Journal has you covered. Stay tuned to our MLB Trade Tracker for all your Blue Jays trade news as it happens.

Rumoured To Be On The Move

Francisco Liriano: 6-5, 5.88 ERA- Has allowed 3 runs or less in last three outings. The 33-year-old hurler is 33 years old earning $13.6 million and set to become a free agent at season’s end.

**See Update Below**

Marco Estrada: 4-7, 5.43 ERA- Has struggled mightily but only allowed 2 runs in his last start. The 34-year-old is earning $14.5 million but does have a proven playoff track record which could make him appealing even though he has had a disappointing season going into free agency.

Joe Smith: 3-0, 3.28 ERA- Has been one of the most dependable arms out of the bullpen. The 33-year old is a steal at $3 million and should have plenty of suitors before the deadline looms.
