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

4. Chad Green

Chad Green has been one of the rare reliable arms on the team in 2024. Having exercised the two-year option on Green this past offseason, he had been everything the Jays had hoped for when they first signed the veteran reliever. In 27 appearances to date, Green has compiled a 2-2 record while going a perfect 6-for-6 in save opportunities, along with 6 holds, a 2.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 9 walks and 24 strikeouts in 27 innings pitched.

He would look great in stabilizing the relief corps of any contender with his consistency in performing well in high leverage situations. In addition, MLB insider Joel Sherman has previously suggested the idea of Green being an ideal trade candidate for the New York Mets to upgrade their relief corps. Therefore, as great as Green has looked in a Jays’ uniform, he may no longer be donning the jersey for long if he keeps performing the way that he has all season.

3. Yimi García

Despite the miserable season that the Jays’ bullpen had been enduring this year, Yimi García had been perhaps the most trusted reliever to date. Through the middle of May, he was actually one of the best relievers in the entire league, posting a minuscule 0.47 ERA, .082 opponents batting average, 0.58 WHIP, while registering 2 saves, 8 holds, along with 24 strikeouts in 19 innings of work. He eventually fell back to earth a bit prior to his elbow injury that landed him on the IL in mid-June, but perhaps it had something to do with his regression in performance in that regard.

García was one of the recently rumoured Jays’ players put on the trade block by the team. Despite not having any immediate news as of yet on prospective teams interested in his services, he will likely garner some attention in contenders looking for a boost to their bullpen heading into the postseason. As a result, there is a good possibility that he will find a new home in the coming week or two, barring that he remains healthy after being reinstated from the IL just recently.
