The Toronto Blue Jays are in need of an outfielder that can hit and they might have a solution in Spencer Steer, who has been put on the trade block by the Cincinnati Reds.

The Blue Jays are still without an outfielder to pair with George Springer and Daulton Varsho for 2025 while also still looking for a quality hitter to add to their lineup, which is why Steer could be a great option.

Blue Jays might be interested in Spencer Steer as the Reds put him on the trade block

According to MLB reporter Jack Azoulay-Haron, the Reds have made it known that they are listening to offers on Steer with multiple teams interested but none specifically named so far.

Steer would be a great addition for the Blue Jays as he is coming off a great season offensively with 20 home runs, 92 RBI, a .225 batting average and .319 on base percentage in only his third season in MLB.

This would be a great addition for the Blue Jays offense but also for their defense as they are still in need of an outfielder. If they do not bring one in, they will start the season with Joey Loperfido.

The young Reds outfielder would be a great addition for next season but also for the Blue Jays' future. He is still young, while Springer is on the back end of his career, and it would give them a solid young duo in Varsho and Steer.

While the Blue Jays are nowhere near getting a deal done for Steer, this could definitely be a great option for the organization's future.

Hopefully, Ross Atkins brings in an outfielder even if it isn't Steer because Loperfido does not seem ready to be an everyday player in the majors just yet.
