As the trade deadline is rapidly approaching, Blue Jays fans are ready to say goodbye to some familiar faces, especially those on expiring contracts.
Players such as Justin Turner, Yimi Garcia and Kevin Kiermaier are almost guaranteed to be moved as they are on the last year of their contract and it seems like GM Ross Atkins does not see them as part of the Blue Jays future.
The biggest surprise is catcher Danny Jansen who will also be put on the trading block since he is only on a one year contract despite being on the Blue Jays best players this season.

Jansen has been injury prone for the majority of his career but has been able to stay healthy this season and it his numbers prove it since he is having one of his best season.
Trading Jansen would not make much sense for the Jays that have stuck through it will all of his injuries and now that he is healthy and playing great, Atkins is ready to trade him instead of re-sign him.
