What Are the Chances These Orioles Get Traded at the Deadline?
TORONTO, CANADA, JUL 28 – Toronto Blue Jays aim to enhance pitching and bullpen depth before MLB trade deadline to support their 63-43 record and 97.3% postseason probability, balancing present and future needs.
- With the trade deadline on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET and a 63-43 record on July 31, 2025, the Blue Jays aim to strengthen their playoff chances.
- Starting pitchers carry a collective 4.39 ERA, and Alek Manoah's return timeline highlights the need for an additional starter if setbacks occur.
- With decision time creeping closer, the Blue Jays' farm system has improved but still trails peers, led by top prospect Arjun Nimmala and pitching prospects Trey Yesavage, Ricky Tiedemann, Johnny King and Khal Stephen.
- Potential targets include Joe Ryan, under team control for two more seasons, and Pete Fairbanks, with a 2.84 ERA, 17 saves, and a $3.67 million contract, as GM Ross Atkins considers bullpen and rotation upgrades.
- With payroll projected at $278 million—just $3 million below the third CBT threshold—and having absorbed salaries twice this off-season, the Blue Jays have financial flexibility, FanGraphs’ RosterResource said.
