Emerson would be an incredible addition for the Blue Jays after a solid second season in the minor leagues with 4 homeruns, 37 RBIs, .263 batting average and .393 on base percentage.
Since none of these players would be able to come in right away to replace Bichette, this could open up some room for the Blue Jays the Blue Jays to go and land either a first baseman, third baseman or shortstop.
Landing some on the Mariners top prospects would surely improve the Blue Jays farm system rankings which currently sit at the bottom after finishing the 2024 season in 24th place.
The Mariners on the other hand would have to figure out if they want to move Bichette over to third base or if JP Crawford will slide over since they already have a reliable shortstop.
