The Blue Jays may include a left-handed bat and a beginning pitcher at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. Or they could incorporate each in a person player.
Toronto is shown as one of the best potential locations for Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani, if the DH/SP is traded in the coming days. Toronto’s odds to go for Ohtani are +1000, for every BetOnline, which indicates a 9.09% prospect the Jays will swing a move for Ohtani.
Toronto’s Ohtani trade odds are the sixth-maximum, subsequent the Cardinals at the leading (+200), and then the Yankees, Dodgers, Padres, and Mets.

A trade for Ohtani would be largely unprecedented, provided his two-way stardom and the latest AL MVP win. In 2022, Ohtani is slashing .251/.345/.481 with 21 homers in 97 games at the plate while also pitching 17 begins with a 2.81 Era on the mound. His 4.8 bWAR this calendar year ranks sixth in baseball and 3rd in the American League, behind only Aaron Decide and Yordan Alvarez.
Per Jon Heyman, rival executives come to feel any present for Ohtani would start with a team’s “four top potential clients.” For the Blue Jays, that could signify Gabriel Moreno, Ricky Tiedemann, Jordan Groshans, and Orelvis Martinez.
Ohtani has just one particular calendar year of arbitration eligibility still left on his contract immediately after this time and is established to strike no cost agency at age 29. He was questioned about modern trade speculation earlier this week by Sam Blum, of The Athletic.
“Ideal now I’m an Angel, and that is all I can seriously aim on at this issue,” Ohtani claimed.
