5 Blue Jays who aren't as safe as they think with trade deadline approaching

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

With 5 home runs in his past 6 games, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s trade value is increasing. He's arguably been the Blue Jays best player this season slashing .296 with 18 HR and 62 RBI. On Wednesday during a livestream, Jon Heyman shared a rumor involving the Mariners and Guerrero. The Mariners need another right handed bat in their lineup with Ty France, who played first base, recently being placed on waivers. In addition, their offensive numbers third from bottom in the entire league, nonetheless they've just acquired Randy Arozarena from the Rays.

The Mariners farm system is now ranked the best in baseball after the MLB draft which could tempt the Blue Jays into trading their star player who has yet to be extended. However, Heyman revealed that 'he'd surprised if he is traded but at least he is being talked about.'

Isiah-Kiner-Falefa

Robert Murray reported on his Baseball Insider podcast that the Blue Jays are listening to trade offers for Isiah-Kiner-Falefa. The two-year, $15M deal is looking like a steal so far and it's one piece of offseason business which the front office can be praised for. This season he's batting .292 with 7 HR, 33 RBI with a .758 OPS and he's 2nd on the team in WAR. He's currently on the IL with a sprained left knee but if all goes well with his recovery is expected to begin a rehab assignment on Saturday.

His ability to play muliple positions should interest teams and the fact he's owed $7.5M next year, could make it even more tempting. Again the Mariners are a great fit, with IKF being an offensive upgrade on Jorge Polanco at second base, the Diamondbacks with Eugenio Suárez and Kevin Newman's struggles at third base and the Dodgers, who perhaps are the best fit as Max Muncy and Mookie Betts are injured.
