The Toronto Blue Jays biggest trade chip last season was their closer, Roberto Osuna, at least prior to his domestic violence arrest and suspension. Josh Donaldson was considered the biggest trade chip the team had heading into the regular season on an expiring deal, but there’s a stronger case to be made that regardless of if Donaldson had stayed healthy or not, Osuna could’ve netted more prior to the suspension railroading his value. The Blue Jays got closer Ken Giles as part of the deal from Houston for Osuna, and heading into 2019, Ken Giles, as of now, is the team’s biggest trade deadline chip.
