Another blockbuster trade is nearing between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians
The Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians are in trade talks once again this time for first baseman Josh Naylor who the two team’s are talking about once again.
The Blue Jays had a massive trade with the Guardians last week for Andres Gimenez but apparently they discussed the possibility of trading for Josh Naylor before the Gimenez deal went through and now talks are heating up once again.

Blue Jays fans seem to be very happy about this news as they thought that Naylor would be a better fit than Gimenez in the first trade with Cleveland.
Could be electric.
Naylor would be a perfect fit for the Blue Jays not only because he is Canadian but because he would bring them a much needed offensive flair to pair with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Last season, Naylor hit 31 homeruns with 108 RBIs, a .243 batting average and a .320 batting average in 152 games for the Cleveland Guardians.
The only issue some might see is that if Naylor goes to first base, they will need to move Guerrero over to third base which will leave Ernie Clement without a spot in the lineup.
