From Wells to Berríos, the Blue Jays currently face familiar trade challenges

One of the major questions facing the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of the 2026 season is, what exactly will they do with starting pitcher José Berrios? At the Winter Meeting this past week, general manager Ross Atkins revealed that Berrios was unhappy with being removed from the Blue Jays rotation late in the season.

He also removed himself from the team during the World Series and while Atkins said that the relationship remains professional, one has to wonder just how much of a rift that could cause within the clubhouse. Many have suggested a trade might be the best course of action, but there are issues with that plan as well.
