The Toronto Blue Jays just pulled off a big trade deadline move, acquiring pitcher Jose Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels — a right-hander with serious upside and a solid track record. After spending years with LA and making his MLB debut in 2023, Soriano admits it was emotional leaving but thrilled to join a contender like Toronto. He’s got over 100 games under his belt, strong strikeout numbers, and despite some walk issues this season, he remains a top-tier arm. The Jays paid a steep price — their top prospect — to land him, locking him up through 2028. With the team just four games out of a wild card spot, Soriano’s arrival could be pivotal for their late-season push. And while the Angels are rebuilding, Toronto offers him a better shot at postseason glory — all while he still cherishes his time in LA.
