The Blue Jays are in turmoil following their shocking U.S. League East last-place finish. Superstars Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are approaching their final season with the Blue Jays, so they could either spend heavily and make a comeback to the postseason or they might be on the verge of a blowout.

Given that they were already linked to superstar Juan Soto in the most costly free-agent sweepstakes this offseason, it appears that the Blue Jays have no plans to rebuild at this time. However, if they are unable to acquire Soto, a surprise trade might be the best option.

The Chicago White Sox have components to trade that could benefit Toronto as they attempt to rebuild following the worst season in modern baseball history. The Blue Jays would sign White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. in a spectacular blockbuster, according to FanSided’s Jacob Mountz.

“Robert has occasionally demonstrated his ability to be a fantastic 5-tool player. He can hit for a high average, steal bases with a high speed, hit home runs like a real slugger, and is possibly the finest centerfield fielder (winning Gold Glove in 2020),” Mountz stated.

Robert, 27, has two club options after 2025 and a deal that runs through 2027. He is revolutionary if he can maintain his health. Ross Atkins should be keeping an eye on Robert if he is serious about developing a contender. Since I don’t think Soto will join the Jays, I think Atkins will go with the next best thing.

Since Garrett Crochet, the starting pitcher for Chicago, has received so much attention, Robert has essentially been forgotten as a trade prospect. Chicago’s reconstruction timeframe does not align with this batter, who only a year ago blasted 38 home runs and won a Silver Slugger award, while having club options.

Since they sold away Teoscar Hernández two seasons ago, Toronto has been without an outfield bat. They may jump in and acquire one. If Robert and Guerrero were paired in the middle of the order, the Blue Jays would once again be a threat in the fiercely competitive East.
