Blue Jays Acquire Jose Berrios

The Toronto Blue Jays have officially acquired veteran starter Jose Berrios from the Minnesota Twins ahead of Friday’s 4pm MLB trade deadline, according to ESPN.

Minnesota will receive prospects shortstop/outfielder Austin Martin and right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson as part of the deal, and the Twins will now move forward without the ace of their rotation.

Berrios, 27, has posted a 7-5 in 20 starts this season with a 3.48 ERA and 126 strikeouts in 121⅔ innings and will help a Blue Jays team trying to close in on one of the two American League Wild Card spots.
