How Does the Hernandez Trade Impact the Blue Jays' 2023 World Series Odds?

Teoscar Hernandez was traded to Seattle Mariners in exchange for Erik Swanson and pitching prospect Adam Macko. The deal saves the Blue Jays around $12 million to $13 million in salary. Hernandez is an all-star who hit 25 home runs last season. The Jays cut ties with Raimel Tapia, Bradley Zimmer and Jackie Bradley Jr. in the deal. George Springer could move to right field. They are going to look for a free agent to replace Hernandez. It is possible they will sign Brandon Nimmo.

The Hernandez trade has a positive impact on betting. Seattle cut their 2023 World Series odds to 18/1. The Jays are still +1400. The Blue Jays have a surplus at catcher.
