The Blue Jays just pulled off a bold trade, landing ace righty Jose Soriano from the Angels in exchange for top prospect Arjun Nimmala, outfielder Eddie Miceleti, and pitcher Angel Rivero. Soriano, despite two Tommy John surgeries, is thriving with a 9-6 record, 3.29 ERA, and 127 strikeouts in 123 innings — pacing to break his career-high innings total. His elite ground-ball rate and devastating 96 mph sinker make him a shutdown starter, especially as he steps into Gausman’s void. But with AL-leading walks, he’ll need help — and the Jays’ elite catchers might just be the answer. This is a high-risk, high-reward move: they’re betting on Soriano’s ceiling and locking him up through 2028.
