The Toronto Blue Jays are in danger of heading into the MLB Trade Deadline season as sellers rather than buyers. At 16-21, there is a very real chance they wind up as sellers.

If they are sellers, there are plenty of players they could trade, enough to consider a possible sell-off a fire sale.

Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicts the Blue Jays will conduct the biggest fire sale this season, despite many eyes on the Houston Astros as a possible deadline seller.

"However, Toronto is our pick for the team most likely to put a bunch of desirable assets on the trade block," Miller writes.

Shipping off a ton of good players at the deadline would be a tough blow for this Blue Jays team, coming off a season in which they were one out from winning a World Series. But, this fire sale might actually be a good idea for a $100 million-plus reason.
