The Toronto Blue Jays answered their surge in the standings with a bold move at the trade deadline, acquiring former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a big move when they acquired Shane Bieber, but the move could come back to haunt them later on.

However, the best trade of the trade deadline according to The Athletic’s Jim Bowden was the Blue Jays trading for Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians. Bieber, 30, hasn’t pitched in MLB this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery early in the 2024 season.
