Toronto Blue Jays reportedly getting trade interest on Davis Schneider

With the MLB offseason already off and running, there are rumours beginning to swirl about which free agent the Toronto Blue Jays are going after and which current players the team could be shopping around.

One name that appears to be generating some trade interest around the league is fan-favourite utility player Davis Schneider.

Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reported on Thursday that Schneider is drawing trade interest from other teams.

"[It's] to be determined whether the Jays listen seriously, but there's been interest," Nicholson-Smith wrote.

Notes on Blue Jays’ bench: • Davis Schneider drawing some trade interest. TBD whether Jays listen seriously, but there's been interest • Josh Smith played well enough w/ Jays to put himself in 2027 plans • Jays bullish on Brandon Valenzuela. Steamer projects 1.2 WAR in 53 G

The 27-year-old is coming off a tough season in which he split time between the majors and the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. In 156 plate appearances with Toronto, Schneider hit just .145 with five home runs and 16 RBIs while striking out at a 33 per cent rate.

His numbers weren't much better in Triple-A, where he hit .220 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs over 218 plate appearances.

Will the Boston Red Sox be interested? As a right-handed hitter who has historically fared well against right-handed pitching, Schneider could be an intriguing option for Boston, particularly given how Fenway Park's dimensions can benefit right-handed power hitters who pull the ball to left.

Over the course of his four-year MLB career, Schneider has hit above average when playing at Fenway Park, going 8-for-35 (.229) with two doubles, two homers, and six RBIs.

Another reason why the Blue Jays front office might be fielding calls on Schneider is the fact that the organization needs to decide his future fate with the team by the MLB's Nov. 20 non-tender deadline.

If they tender Schneider, they'll pick up the estimated arbitration amount of $1.3 million he's owed for next season, and if they don't, he'll be cut loose to free agency for nothing in return.
