A Rays–Blue Jays trade could be the answer to both teams’ roster gaps

This offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays have very few needs. The focus is on whether they can re-sign Bo Bichette or pursue another top-tier bat. Another need is adding a bullpen arm. They just signed Cody Ponce from the Korean Baseball Organization, addressing the team’s fifth starter question. This move will likely bump Eric Lauer into a long-relief role. However, José Berríos's status could determine Lauer's role.

They could still use an upgrade in the bullpen, either at closer or middle relief. The team could address this need by trading one of their surplus outfielders, especially with the Tampa Bay Rays.
