What happened: Toronto Blue Jays officials face questions about which players could be moved if the club commits to selling before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Kevin Gausman has already suggested his most recent start could be his last in a Blue Jays uniform, and the New York Times has floated multiple mock trade scenarios involving the roster.

Why it matters: A sell-off would mark a shift from playoff contention to a rebuild-focused deadline for Toronto. Moving a veteran like Gausman would reshape the rotation for the remainder of the season and beyond.

What to watch: Toronto's direction on Gausman and other veterans is expected to firm up before the Aug. 3 deadline.
