The Blue Jays have yet to decide if they will be sellers at this year's deadline but according to insider Jon Heyman, Toronto should look at trading George Springer.

Springer has been struggling at the plate this season but clearly still has some skill as he has proved over the last few games. He is also having the best season of his career defensively from a statistical stand point.
One team that might be willing to take a shot at Springer would be the Phillies if the Blue Jays are willing to eat up about half of his contract. They will likely be able to get a top prospect in return and would be saving a ton of money.
"To me, the Jays SHOULD sell."

The Blue Jays would need to be willing to eat about half, if not more, of Springer's remaining $50 million left on his contract. If they won't do this, no team will be willing to trade for him. He's simply just not a $20 million a year guy anymore.

If the Blue Jays are willing to eat half his contract, they could get a backend top 30 prospect from the Phillies.

While ideally the Blue Jays would keep Springer and he would return to being a star player for Toronto but it seems like he might need a change of scenery if he plans of finding his game again.
