The Toronto Blue Jays might not have had the best start to the season, but they're still expected to be a playoff contender this season.
They've been working their way back, and with the weak American League, they're only 2. 5 games out of a postseason spot in the Wild Card right now. To truly turn things around, the Blue Jays could swing a trade to bolster their offense.
Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer has a Blue Jays trade rumor linking them to the San Francisco Giants ' Rafael Devers, but with some bad news about the odds of a deal. "The Blue Jays are another ostensible World Series contender that has been weirdly ineffective on offense," Rymer writes.
