No one is going to want Estrada, Loup, or Pearce and we should be extending Happ not trading him. So assuming they don't fall apart the Jays basically have their found money relievers (Clippard and Axford) and Josh Donaldson (you might get a bite on Granderson if someone wants the "veteran presence") as trade chips. I think you might be able to get a nice young starter out of Atlanta (they're loaded with them... Anthopoulous sure landed in a nice spot) for Donaldson+ the others will likely get you B/C+ prospects.
OF: Alford/Grichuk - Pillar - Hernandez
INF: Bichette - Tulo - Solarte/Diaz/Travis - Guerrero
C: Martin - Jansen
That's potentially a really good line-up.
Rotation: Happ - Stroman - Sanchez - Mid-Range UFA - Young Starter
Lot of uncertainty but some good upside in that rotation.

Still lots of season left, but I don't see Bichette arriving as quickly as Vlad. He's still a very good prospect, and apparently the defense has improved, but he's struggling a little bit with the adjustment to AA.
Also, Gurriel will likely be more of a fixture throughout the rest of this season and especially next. He still needs to improve but I thought overall he looked pretty good, and didn't get a ton of luck on some hard hit balls.
