Too soon? I think not. Last year it was started even earlier in July and was highlighted by the Jays acquisition of Paul Dejong:p.
This year's deadline can/will impact the direction of this franchise for near future. All that remains is how aggressive the Jays will be .
Some of the no brainer moves should involve:
Richards
Garcia
Kikuchi
Jansen
The four above absolutely must be moved and in a sellers market there will be demand.
Also to be moved with no expectation of tangible return should be:
Keirmaier
Turner
Just get what you can and move some payroll if possible.
A Bichette trade will be seismic but unlikely based on Atkins recent comments.
Gausman and Bassitt should be on the block but who knows.
I assume Shapiro and co. will have a firm hand on the wheel for this trade deadline so it might be different. Not an all out fire-sale but There Will Be Blood.
