The Blue Jays made it clear that they will be trading player on expiring contract and one of those players that most fans believed would be traded in Justin Turner.
Turner started off the season on fire but has now been playing extremely poorly since May 1st which is why teams might not end up taking a chance on him.
Justin Turner since May 1st (54 games):
.190 AVG
.551 OPS
1 HR
14 RBI
Toronto could have gotten a solid return if Turner was able to continue performing since a contending team looking to add some hitting would have definitely traded for him.
Now that his production has gone way down over his last 54 games, Turner will likely finish up the season in Toronto and might end up without a contract next year which would likely forced him into retirement.
