The Toronto Blue Jays have a plethora of bottom of the rotation starters currently occupying precious spots on the 40-man roster. Veteran hurler Tanner Roark would be a perfect trade candidate for a non-contending team looking for an arm to eat up innings.

Roark is owed $12 million for the 2021 campaign although the Blue Jays would presumably have to absorb some of his salary unless they were including prospects in the deal as well.
