The Toronto Blue Jays have been busy as the MLB trade deadline approaches, and it looks like there could be more moves on the way.

According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the Cleveland Indians have shown interest in Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak.

Smoak, 32, is in his fifth season in Toronto. In 293 at-bats over 86 games, Smoak has registered a .215 batting average with 46 RBIs and 18 home runs.

The Blue Jays are in the midst of a roster overhaul and have been big sellers this summer — they dealt pitcher Marcus Stroman to the New York Mets and veteran infielder Eric Sogard to the Rays over the weekend.
