With all of the talk about what the Toronto Blue Jays are going to do at Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, it’s fair to suggest that they have a real opportunity to improve on the mound.
The Blue Jays, who have been one of the more interesting teams to follow this year due to the injuries they’ve dealt with, are still in a position where they should and could go out to land an above-average starter.
The fortunate part for the Blue Jays is that they’ll have a wide range of options, with Keegan Matheson of MLB.com recently suggesting that they could be interested in players like Tarik Skubal, Reid Detmers, Joe Ryan, Freddy Peralta, and Sandy Alcantara.
“More realistically? This is all settled at the Trade Deadline. Toronto isn’t afraid to swing big on starters, which we’ve seen with both Bieber (in 2025) and José Berríos (2021).
“Keep in mind, too, that Gausman, Bieber and Scherzer will all be free agents after this season, so starters with control beyond 2026 will be particularly attractive to the Blue Jays. The top starters potentially available could include the Tigers’ Tarik Skubal, the Angels’ Reid Detmers, the Twins’ Joe Ryan, the Mets’ Freddy Peralta, the Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara and more,” Matheson wrote.
The Blue Jays won’t add more than one of those guys, as it’s going to be nearly impossible to do so because of the prospects they’d have to move in order to do it. However, if they could end up with any of those players, it should be viewed as a big-time positive.
Out of that bunch, going after one of them with more years of control than just the next few months, such as Peralta and Skubal, might be a priority for Toronto.
