"When the Jays traded for the injured Guardians ace, they clearly had the postseason in mind. It would be a few weeks until he made his first start in a Blue Jays uniform, but he quickly showed that he was getting back to the pitcher he was before his Tommy John surgery. The Blue Jays gave up one of their top pitching prospects in Khal Stephen, showing how much they believed in Bieber going forward."
"Giving up contact has been the biggest issue for him in October, allowing 16 hits across 12 1/3 innings pitched. He got the early hook in game three against New York (third inning) and again in game seven against Seattle (fourth), but was able to limit the opponent to two runs scored in each. His best performance was in game three against Seattle, a game that the Blue Jays needed to win while trailing in the series 2-0."
The Blue Jays executed an active trade deadline, acquiring major-league talent that has factored into an AL pennant. Toronto relied on Shane Bieber, Seranthony Dominguez, and Louis Varland for the World Series roster. The team traded a top pitching prospect, Khal Stephen, for an injured Bieber who returned from Tommy John surgery and posted a 3.57 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across seven regular-season starts. Bieber has made three postseason starts, allowing 16 hits in 12 1/3 innings while twice exiting early but limiting opponents to two runs in those outings. He delivered six strong innings in a vital game three win over Seattle.
