For a while, it seemed like the Toronto Blue Jays could actually become sellers at this year's trade deadline. Middling during the early portion of the season, the organization could have decided to build toward the future by choosing to get assets back in return for the expiring deals they have set to come off their books at the conclusion of this campaign.

The Toronto Blue Jays did not have a very good weekend. They just got swept by the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, which ended in an 11-4 loss on Sunday. Moreover, the Blue Jays appear to be among the teams that took a swing and missed out on the Rafael Devers sweepstakes.
