The Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers are gearing up for a crucial two-week period leading up to the MLB trade deadline, starting with a showdown on Friday night at Rogers Centre.
Toronto, with a record of 44-52, had a disappointing first half of the season and currently sits at the bottom of the AL East. If they don’t turn things around quickly after the All-Star break, they may become sellers in the trade market.
Despite their struggles, the Blue Jays have a talented roster led by stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who had an impressive first half. However, players like Bo Bichette, George Springer, and Justin Turner will need to step up to prevent a potential fire sale.
The Detroit Tigers, on the other hand, have been on a hot streak, winning eight of their last ten games before the All-Star Break. With a record of 47-50, they are seven games out of the AL’s third wild-card spot, fueled by young talents like Riley Greene.
Both teams previously faced off in late May, with the Tigers winning three out of four games.
