Toronto Blue Jays

I think it's generally accepted now that the Blue Jays front office intends to 'retool' for 2025, as opposed to doing a full on investing-in-the-future (ie prospects) approach - one that could potentially still involve signing Vladdy long-term. This, to me, sounds like a bad idea. My thinking, in turn, was inspired by listening to Blake Murphy and Jonah Birenbaum on Blue Jays Talk today. It seems like this season and last we've realized that the front office didn't get enough hitting. It seems like they're probably on track to repeat that next year, as they've got a lot of work to do to make the team competitive next year. Vladdy and Bo's contracts are up next year too. 'Retool for 2025' seems shortsighted to me. I hope next year isn't like this year (in terms of realizing you're a selloff team mid-season) but worse :/

Nate is gone to Cubs. Cubs acquire Nate Pearson

They said on Sportsnet that per Ken Rosenthal Danny Jansen has been traded to the Bo Sox. Who's gonna catch next year lol?

From the broadcast on Wednesday the 24th (2nd game of the Rays series).

Could you imagine if - based on this - they went to another player, say Bo, and they said "gee, a different hairstyle might be good after the results with Vladdy. How about some braids in your hair?". lol!

Justin Turner to the Mariners per Jeff Passan, reported on Jays TV broadcast

Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros for their 2nd ranked prospect, who's a pitcher

Trevor Richards to the Twinkies per Ken Rosenthal

IKF to Pirates per Mark Feinsand

KK to the Dodgers

The Blue Jays have traded reliever Yimi Garcia to the Seattle Mariners for outfield prospect Jonatan Clase and catching prospect Jacob Sharp, per MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer.
