Schneider remains focused on managerial duties, not potential deals
TORONTO — John Schneider does not have the luxury of daydreaming about the Trade Deadline. That’s for all of us to do.
Sure, the Blue Jays’ manager is part of these big-picture talks with general manager Ross Atkins and the front office, but once he walks out of that office, someone else needs him. There’s a hitters’ meeting. There’s a meeting with his coaching staff. There’s one of his 500 media sessions each season. Every minute of the man’s day is scheduled, so there’s not much time to lean back and watch MLB Network like the rest of us.
Blue Jays Expected To Move Rentals, Open To Adding Players Controlled Beyond 2026
The Blue Jays took a 3-1 series opener over the Cardinals tonight. That combined with another Cleveland loss moved them within 4.5 games of the AL’s final Wild Card spot. They’d need to surpass six teams and are still eight games under .500, however, so a deadline sale seems prudent.
That’s likely to be the case for the team’s notable impending free agents, though it seems the Jays are keeping an open mind to adding as well. Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports that Toronto has had conversations about acquiring a noteworthy player who is controllable beyond this season. That’d be in addition to trades of rentals like Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho and Shane Bieber — all of whom the Jays are expected to move, Bannon writes.

Amid deadline uncertainty, Hoffman hopes Blue Jays 'take a leap of faith' on 2026 group
TORONTO – Like so many of his Toronto Blue Jays teammates, Jeff Hoffman doesn’t know what to expect between now and Monday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline. He’s been around the game long enough to know how the standings dictate what happens at this time of year, but he isn’t in the least ready to concede on 2026, playoff probabilities be damned.
“I know we have a very competitive ownership group. I know we have a GM that wants to win and everybody in the front office wants to win, they expect to win, so I'm hoping they kind of take a leap of faith for us a little bit, because we all still have the belief in each other,” Hoffman said Friday before earning the win with a clean eighth as the Blue Jays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1, winning consecutive games for the first time since July 7-10.
