8 players who are entering their last month with the Blue Jays

Bo Bichette

Call it bold, call it stupid, call it what you will, but it feels like Bichette's time on the Blue Jays is gradually coming to a close.

We're in year six now of the Bichette Experience and it's mostly all been positive. He's led the American League in hits twice, finished top-20 in AL MVP voting three times and sports a career OPS+ of 120, which is nothing to scoff at.

In his first 76 games of this year, though, he's looked like a different player. The 26-year-old is posting career-lows in essentially every single category. He's hitting just .226 with an OBP of .280, a SLG of .327 and an OPS all the way down to .606. His OPS+ sits at 72, which means his production is 28 percent below league-average this year.

The trade value Bichette loses with his offensive showing this year is somewhat (but not fully) made up by the fact that he's still got another year of team control beyond the current one. He's a legit superstar-caliber talent, regardless of what the numbers say, and teams know that.

Most pitchers on this list would fit on virtually any contending team looking for either starting or relief help. Bichette, however, is in a league of his own when it comes to potential suitors. There just aren't that many teams out there looking for a top-shelf shortstop. The Dodgers and Braves, who are currently trotting out the likes of Miguel Rojas and Orlando Arcia, both feel like teams that both have a need and have the immediate reinforcements available to send to Toronto in a potential swap.
