BREAKING NEWS: Blockbuster moves for top two key stars by Toronto Blue Jays

While speculation has circulated about the possibility of the Toronto Blue Jays considering trades involving Bo Bichette or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. come July, a fresh report suggests that the team has already engaged in talks with other franchises regarding a major trade.

Currently occupying the bottom spot in the American League East standings with a 21-26 record, the Blue Jays’ recent performance, losing four of their last six games, does not bode well for their aspirations of securing a third consecutive postseason berth, following back-to-back appearances.

Bo Bichette’s 2024 season statistics stand at a .230 batting average, .289 on-base percentage, .333 slugging percentage, 2 home runs, 16 runs batted in, and 14 runs scored. Even if key players like Bo Bichette, Daulton Varsho, and George Springer manage to break out of their early-season slumps and regain form, the team faces the daunting challenge of competing in the same division as two formidable baseball powerhouses: the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles.

Consequently, there has been speculation that the Blue Jays might adopt a seller’s stance ahead of the July 30 MLB trade deadline, given their current standing and the potential to garner considerable interest in several of their players across the league. Among these players, standouts like Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are particularly noteworthy, although some have raised doubts about whether the organization would be willing to part with these foundational talents, especially considering both players are set to become free agents after the 2025 season.

Toronto Blue Jays have a ‘ridiculous’ asking price for Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. trade

A recent report indicates that discussions have commenced regarding potential trades involving the duo of homegrown All-Stars.

“I don’t think they’re opposed to it,” shared an executive with MLB.com league insider Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. “They’ve talked to teams about it. The asks were ridiculous, but I think they’re going to try to retool a lot, and using those guys to get pieces may be the way to do it.”

This revelation provides significant insight into the Toronto Blue Jays’ current stance, more than two months ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and suggests a shift in their outlook for the season. It’s noteworthy that they’ve already initiated discussions about trading two players who were previously considered foundational to their team as they entered the 2024 season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 2024 season statistics stand at a .286 batting average, .381 on-base percentage, .394 slugging percentage, 4 home runs, 21 runs batted in, and 19 runs scored. Guerrero Jr. boasts three All-Star selections, while Bo Bichette has earned the honor twice, with both players named All-Stars in 2023.
