The Toronto Blue Jays sure had a productive 2025 trade deadline. They managed to address their pitching needs for both the starting rotation and relief corps. The Jays were able to pry Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians, along with making strong bullpen additions in Seranthony Domínguez and Louis Varland.
Despite all that action, one main area remained to be covered and that was acquiring a power bat to significantly boost the Jays’ offensive potential going forward. They did their best by recruiting former 20-home run man Ty France from the Minnesota Twins.
