The Blue Jays lacked production in many areas this past season, especially within the lineup.

With this idea in mind, we decided to discuss a few possible trade candidates the Blue Jays could look to move to retool and acquire depth in other areas, breaking down which players would be worth shopping on the market to see what the Blue Jays could get in return.
