The Toronto Blue Jays were linked to veteran pitcher Seth Lugo of the Royals ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. After their successful weekend against the Tigers, the Royals extended Lugo to a two-year, $46 million deal. Although Lugo struggled with hard contact, he maintained a solid 2.95 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. The Blue Jays, facing expiring contracts for several players, need to pursue other pitching targets like Mitch Keller, Edward Cabrera, and Sandy Alcantara, while also considering rental options for the playoff push.
Lugo has struggled with hard contact but boasts a 2.95 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP, making him a valuable addition to any pitching rotation.
Mitch Keller is a top target leading baseball in quality starts and has three years remaining on his contract, potentially available without a hefty cost.
The Marlins could sell either Edward Cabrera or Sandy Alcantara if they decide not to buy, offering another avenue for the Blue Jays.
Rentals like Andrew Heaney, Adrian Houser, or Charlie Morton represent potential short-term acquisitions for Toronto in their push for the postseason.
