Jays are 44-52 (8 games under 500) and it does not look like they have another hot streak in them this season meaning the 11-game streak (9-2) and a game streak (9-1) both in may is the hottest it will be this season for the Jays.
So it is a sellers market and the Jays should be sellers so Bautista, Marco, and Francisco should be dealt but none will bring back very much in return.
Josh Donaldson should be traded as he has one season left of Jays control and I do not know if it is now or in the off season to get the deal done but he would defiantly bring back some top prospects. He will be a free agent after next season and will be testing the market and also he will be getting bi offers unlike Bautista and Edwin.
I do not know if Justin Smoak will be the next Bautista or Michael Saunders he is smarter at the plate and is under contract for 1 more season and is a great defender at first but might bring a nice prospect back.
The tough decisions will be Marcus Stroman and Roberto Oshuna they are both great young pitchers with great personal makeup and huge upside. The problem is that on one hand talented young pitchers are very rare so you are unlikely to find another right away but they both bring a load of top prospects back if you trade them. They are under the Jays control for 3 more seasons (free agents in 2021) and it would be good having them as starting blocks for the Jays future. They would on the other hand speed up the rebuilding process so I am very glad I am not Jays management because I have no idea what to do.
Right now Arron Sanchez is going no where he is broken so the Jays need to rebuild him by finding out why the blister problem is such a big problem maybe shut him down for the rest of the season and hope he comes back healthy in the spring of 2018.
Jays it has been fun but it is over
