5 Blue Jays who won’t finish the month of August on the big league roster

So after all the dust has settled from the trade deadline, the Toronto Blue Jays ended up having quite the exodus of everyday players as a result of it. Danny Jansen found a new home with division rivals Boston Red Sox. Both Justin Turner and Yimi García ended up joining the AL West hopeful Seattle Mariners. Yusei Kikuchi also landed in the AL West, but with the Houston Astros. Trevor Richards latched on with the Minnesota Twins, who took out the Jays last postseason. Isiah Kiner-Falefa has moved all the way to Pittsburgh to hopefully help the Pirates make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Nate Pearson went to Chicago to join the Cubs to play out the season. Finally, Kevin Kiermaier will get his legitimate chance to chase a ring before his retirement with the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

As a result, it had left many holes both in the starting lineup and pitching staff for the Jays to fill in the meantime. In addition to the usual suspects that have been with the team already this season, many of the organization’s top prospects as well as serviceable players will now get their chance to show what they could bring to the club going forward. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every player currently with spots on the Jays’ big league roster is all that secure, After all, they still have some intriguing options in the high minors that they would probably want to take a look at before the rest of the season plays out.

Therefore, we will take a look at five Blue Jays players that have a high probability of not making it through the month of August with the big league team if they don’t step up their game soon enough. With many other prospective players hungry for spots, they sure will have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks.
