TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to be sellers ahead of Monday’s Major League Baseball trade deadline.

Toronto (50-59) is in last in the American League East and is 5 1/2 games out of a wild-card berth.

The Blue Jays could move several players over the weekend to reload for next season.

Starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber as well as outfielders Daulton Varsho and George Springer could all be traded.

Gausman has told reporters he doesn’t want to leave Toronto but that he understands that baseball is a business.

The Blue Jays open a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Rogers Centre tonight.
