pic.twitter.com/RlzDkCARbD — Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) August 3, 2026The Blue Jays were widely expected to be sellers at the 2026 trade deadline, and looked to be after trading Kevin Gausman. Should the Blue Jays have held on to Nimmala? Second is the performance of Parker, who the Blue Jays took 8th overall in last year’s draft. The main reason why the Blue Jays parted with Nimmala is that they want to compete in 2027. Still, it’s fair to wonder whether the Blue Jays will ultimately regret their decision to trade away such a promising prospect in Nimmala.
