## Resource

The Blue Jays are not in the position they wanted to find themselves as the trade deadline approaches, but there's nothing that can be done about that now. They'll have some big decisions to make, as they mostly begin to look toward 2027. Does that mean a full-on, 2024-like sell-off is on its way? Maybe not. And for this week's episode we entertained all sorts of different possibilities, as we examined the likelihood of each of their rental players—and several with some term left, too—actually getting dealt by 6 PM ET on Monday. ** FOR AD-FREE EPISODES AND WEEKLY BONUS SHOWS, FIND US AT patreon.com/BJHH ** Hosted on Acast.
