The Toronto Blue Jays are a long way removed from the 2025 World Series Game 7. The 2026 campaign was a huge step back for Toronto, missing the playoffs altogether, and it’s raising some fascinating offseason questions. One of those…
The Athletic's Mitch Bannon clarified on October 11, 2026, that recent discussions involving former Toronto Blue Jays players Kevin Pillar and Ricky Romero were not advocating for an Alejandro Kirk trade.

Heavy contributor Billy Heyen notes that Kirk fits the Blue Jays' offensive profile and remains signed through 2030 on a four-year, $49.3 million contract paying $12.325 million annually. With Kirk locked under team control at a reasonable salary, Heyen argues it is unlikely Toronto will move him as they retool for next season.
