Blockbuster 4 player trade offer announced between the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins
The Minnesota Twins are looking to move on from pitcher Jhoan Duran at the trade deadline and it looks like the Toronto Blue Jays could be the perfect landing spot.
The Blue Jays bullpen has been great this season in terms of performance but has struggled with injuries as they have lost many pitchers for long stretches of the season.
4 Player trade offer announced between the Blue Jays and Twins for Jhoan Duran
Since Duran seems to be on his way out of Minnesota, there has been a lot of speculation on where he will end up as he is currently seen as one of the best relief pitchers available at the deadline.
Rival teams believe the best three relievers traded at the deadline will be:
#MNTwins RHP Jhoan Duran
#Pirates RHP David Bednar
#STLCards RHP Ryan Helsley
#MNTwins RHP Jhoan Duran
#Pirates RHP David Bednar
#STLCards RHP Ryan Helsley
A recent potential trade proposal was posted which would see the Blue Jays trade three prospects in Josh Kasevich, Khal Stephens and Johnny King in exchange for Duran.
Jhoan Duran to the Blue Jays Mock Trade
While this would be quite the costly price for Toronto, they would be getting one of the best relief pitchers in the MLB in Duran as he currently has a 1.90 ERA and 16 saves in 47.1 innings this season.
Out of the three prospects, losing Stephens would likely hurt the most to Toronto's future but since Duran is only 27 years old, this trade would clearly be worth it.
If the Blue Jays can manage to get at least of relief pitcher of this caliber at the trade deadline, their bullpen will be lock and loaded for the playoffs.
