After the 2025 MLB trade deadline, Ty France had one job; to be the back up first baseman for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Toronto Blue Jays acquired France as part of the deadline deal that also brought them relief pitcher Louis Varland.
France was good in his 37 games with Toronto, especially during the time when Vladdy was down due to injury. France was worth 0.2 bWAR, hitting .277/.320/.372 and provided "Gold Glove level" defence in the interim. But France is now a free agent, and while the Blue Jays can certainly bring him back there are other options out there, including a player who suited up for the Blue Jays division rivals at the end of the season.
