Because lots of times baseball teams make stupid decisions based on outdated statistics like homeruns and see that JPA has 4 years of club control left and so many teams have a hole to fill at the catcher position. So the thinking is he's not likely to be moved, but if a team was to overvalue him, the Jays could perhaps maximize his value. I don't think any Jays fans think he would be worthy of a big piece in a 1 for 1 player trade, but perhaps a part in a larger trade.
