Toronto Blue Jays Pursue Starting Pitching After Sasaki Loss

The Toronto Blue Jays faced disappointment after Roki Sasaki signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, despite their aggressive efforts to secure him, including trading for extra international bonus pool money. This marks the latest setback in a series of near-misses for the team, which has also pursued stars like Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, and Corbin Burnes without success. With their current rotation consisting of Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios, and others, the Blue Jays are still searching for starting pitching help, with Jack Flaherty and Nick Pivetta being potential targets. The team hopes to bolster its roster as they are reportedly involved in negotiations with hitters like Anthony Santander. Fans are growing impatient for tangible results from the front office after a lackluster offseason so far. The organization must now pivot quickly to address critical needs in their pitching staff to enhance their competitiveness for the upcoming season.
