Angels Trade Soriano to Blue Jays

The Los Angeles Angels have traded starting pitcher José Soriano to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for three prospects, ESPN reports.

In return for Soriano, the Blue Jays are sending shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmela, minor-league outfielder Eddie Micheletti and teenage right-hander Angel Rivero to Los Angeles. The 26-year-old Soriano is under team control through 2028 and is being paid just $2.9 million this season. Currently enjoying a career-best campaign with a 3.29 ERA, Soriano has limited home runs and hits despite leading the American League in walks allowed.

The trade comes after the Blue Jays dealt Kevin Gausman to the Cubs, with Soriano now joining a rotation that includes major offseason signing Dylan Cease. truewildgame.online
