The Blue Jays will likely be sellers at this year's deadline as the window to make the playoffs continue to shrink.
While it seems like the plan is to try and make one more push with this core next season, they will likely move a few players to try and get a better return. One player that will likely be traded at the deadline due to his value is reliever Chad Green.
Chad Green could be one of the most interesting decisions the #BlueJays face at the trade deadline.
Assuming they try to pivot (again) for one more run with this core, there's a case to keep him, but he'll be a very attractive name to a lot of contenders. There will be interest.
The Blue Jays bullpen had been a disaster this season but Green has been one of the few consistent closers for the Jays. green has a 1.64 ERA in 22 innings pitched with 4 saves and 19 strikeouts.
While there it does make sense to hold onto Green, the return will likely be too great for the Blue Jays to look the other way.
