United StatesThe Toronto Blue Jays, who entered the 2026 season with high expectations, have underperformed significantly, finishing with a 49-58 record and sitting last in the AL East. As a result, the team is expected to be active sellers at the MLB Trade Deadline. Insider Jim Bowden predicts that the Blue Jays will trade several players, including pitchers Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber, as well as center fielder Daulton Varsho, all of whom are pending free agents. Gausman has struggled this season with a 4-10 record and a 4.51 ERA, while Bieber, a former Cy Young Award winner, has posted a 2-1 record and 4.70 ERA in six starts. Varsho, despite a drop-off from his previous season, remains a valuable asset with seven home runs and a .244 batting average.
