It’s no secret that the 2019 season is a rebuilding year in Toronto, and with that we can expect to see continued roster turnover, just as we witnessed this winter. With several veterans on expiring deals, or on contracts that end after the 2020 season, the Blue Jays are expected to be a busy trade partner this summer.
That whole dynamic shifted a little bit on Wednesday as well, as MLB announced that there will no longer be an August trade deadline, and the focus will all turn to the July 31 date on the calendar.
