Three Trade Targets Who Could Address Blue Jays' Biggest Problem

Toronto’s offense is the major concern for the Blue Jays heading into roster upgrades, with the team finishing last in MLB in home runs, isolated power (SLG%-BA), average exit velocity, and hard-hit rate. The article notes that, unlike last year’s free-agent class that featured sluggers such as Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso, this year’s market is short on obvious power bats. It names three free-agent targets who could help: left fielder Randy Arozarena, right fielder Seiya Suzuki, and Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato. Even with one signing, Toronto would likely still need more pop, with outfield help especially prioritized, while middle infield and DH are also options. As trade candidates, it spotlights Francisco Lindor as a potentially “expensive star,” discussing his 2026 hamate injury effects and contract-driven reasons the Mets might move him.
