Blue Jays’ Trade Deadline Plan Surfaces on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Blue Jays are not only the best team in baseball, but they just dominated the AL's second-best squad. They beat the Detroit Tigers in three out of four games on the road, winning the series by a combined score of 27-17.

While the Blue Jays seem to be interested, it appears like the Philadelphia Phillies are the front-runners. They are in desperate need of help for the back-end of the bullpen, and if they deem Duran as that guy, they will be all-in to get him.

Two of the hottest names on the trade market for the Red Birds could be on their way out of the States by Thursday.
