Ranking top Blue Jays trade chips by how likely they are to be dealt at the deadline

As we head towards the MLB trade deadline in a little over a week’s time, the Toronto Blue Jays will be looking to retool their roster to help them become competitive once again in the not-so-distant future. As a result, they will likely be offloading a bunch of players to replenish the organization with valuable assets that they can use down the road.

With that in mind, who are the Blue Jays’ top trade chips? So for every top Jays player being made available, we will rank them based on the likelihood that they will be dealt by the trade deadline.

10. Bo Bichette

For one of the key faces of the franchise, Bo Bichette has had quite the underwhelming season to say the least. After consistently putting up 20+ home runs and 70+ RBI seasons while batting close to .300 for each of the past three years for the Jays, Bichette has struggled mightily to a .223 average, .597 OPS with just 4 home runs and 30 RBI in 79 games played so far in 2024. Whether it be a hidden injury, a mental block, or just plain regression in his game, nobody knows what had been ailing his play.

Despite his struggles though, he previously expressed that he wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was still moved by the trade deadline. However, it would not be a wise move for the Jays to move a player of Bichette’s calibre when his value might be at his absolute lowest. Added to the fact that he has now landed once again on the IL with his recurring calf issue and expected to miss multiple weeks, it could essentially put an end to any potential trade talks. So even with all the hot rumors in recent weeks, it looks like Bichette will be staying put, for now.
