With that in mind, how the Jays come out of this week’s crucial home stand could help determine whether the club will be in buying mode, especially as the midseason point is just around the corner.
If the Jays will indeed be buyers, there are potentially plenty of options available. We already know the Marlins are allegedly listening in on young controllable talent like OF’s Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich, but if those players require too much in prospect capital, perhaps the Jays can look to the New York Mets, who according to recent reports are ostensibly putting up major pieces on the trade block.
