Blue Jays' Deadline Deals: A Mixed Bag of Progress and Plateau The Toronto Blue Jays' disappointing 2026 season, which followed a World Series appearance the previous year, prompted a flurry of roster moves on trade deadline day.

The Blue Jays' deals appear to be a mix of pragmatism and boldness. Trading away Daulton Varsho and Jeff Hoffman might raise eyebrows given their contributions last season.
