5 Blue Jays players who could be on the trade block at the trade deadline

While the 2025 Blue Jays aren't the picture of consistency, they're still in the playoff picture for the 2025 postseason picture thanks to a 13-12 May.

If they're able to improve upon that in the next couple weeks then there's a good chance they could enter the trade deadline as legitimate buyers.

Here's a look at five Blue Jays who could be on the trade block this July if the Blue Jays elect to be sellers.

5 Blue Jays players who could be on the trade block if they are buyers at the deadline

SS Arjun Nimmala

Nimmala has made huge strides over the past 12 months and is the clear No.1 prospect in the Blue Jays' system.

After posting a .232 average with 17 home runs and 47 RBI in 91 games last year in his first full year of affilated ball, he's been on a different level this year.

promising shortstop has hit .293 with 31 runs, 13 doubles, nine home runs, 25 RBI and four stolen bases in just 41 games at High-A this year. 

Those stats have shot Nimmala up numerous top prospects list despite the fact that he's just 19. There's no doubt that teams will come calling to ask about him at the deadline, but it would likely take a lot for Toronto to part with their No. 1 prospect. But that doesn't mean there won't be suitors.

LHP Ricky Tiedemann

A former No. 1 prospect himself, Tiedemann remains one of the top arms in the Blue Jays' system despite missing most of last year (and likely all of this year) after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Tiedemann oozes potential thanks to a three-plus pitch arsenal highlighted by a 98 mile per hour fastball.

Prior to being shelved with his elbow injury in 2024, Tiedemann had put together back-to-back solid minor league campaigns in 2022 and 2023 where he ascended four levels of the minors. His strikeout ability was on full display during that period, as he averaged 17 strikeouts per nine innings in 2023.

With his ceiling is likely a front-end starter, whichever team he's with (whether it's the Blue Jays or otherwise) will ned to show some patience while he recovers from his arm injury.

At this point, it's clear the Jays should at least entertain any calls for the promising 22-year-old pitching prospect. While there's a chance Tiedemann could be an ace, they should still see what they can get for him.

INF Orelvis Martinez

Martinez is the top power-hitting prospect in the Jays system, and he made his MLB debut last year. Unfortunately, an ill-timed 80-game PED suspension ended up pushing his timeline just back a little, and he has yet to receive a promotion this season.

Martinez represents the Jays’ best blooming power-hitting prospect since Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and he has the power to be a 30+ home run hitter. However, the 23-year-old infielder has the tendency to sacrifice hitting for power, as he still strikes out far too much.

While that's dropped Martinez's prospect stock since he'll likely be more of a Joey Gallo or Adam Dunn than a Guerrero, he likely still holds on value on the trade market. He could be the piece that helps push a Blue Jays' prospect package over the top of another team's.

OF Alan Roden

As one of the fastest developing prospects in the Blue Jays' organization, Roden has managed to go from Single-A to the majors in a span of just two years.

Roden made his MLB debut with the Jays earlier this year and was instrumental to the team's early season success. However, as the year progressed, it became apparent that he still had some work he needed to do to become a bonafide MLBer. After hitting just .178 in 28 games with the Blue Jays, he was optioned back down to the Jays’ Triple-A Buffalo.

However, he's likely caught the eye of some teams across MLB thanks to his minor league success, which could work in the Blue Jays' favor.

The Jays currently having an excess of outfielders on their roster so they could use Roden as trade bait to address another area of need at the deadline.

RHP Trey Yesavage

Yesavage has certainly made the Toronto brass look like geniuses in the time since they picked him in the first round of last year's MLB Draft. In just his first year of professional baseball, Yesavage has definitely looked like the real deal for the Jays.

He started the season at Single-A Dunedin and easily tore through the competition in seven starts, going 3-0 with a tidy 2.43 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, along with 55 strikeouts in just 33 1/3 innings.

After those seven starts, Yesavage got a well-earned promotion to High-A Vancouver where he has continued his breakout season. He's been even better against stiffer competition, as he's averaging greater than two strikeouts per inning while posting a 2.25 ERA in two starts.

Yesavage might not be the Jays’ currently top-ranked prospect in the system, but he's quickly made a name for himself in a short time.

While it would be painful to lose a player like Yesavage, they'd likely need to include him in any package needed to get an impact player.
