Blue Jays complete a trade for Shane Bieber from the Guardians

The Blue Jays have just completed a trade with the Guardians for Shane Bieber in exchange for one of their top pitching prospects Khal Stephens who has been on fire this season.
Shane Bieber is massive risk/reward. Little nerve wracking any time a pitcher is coming back from Tommy John.

Wonder if the Jays have an eye on 2026, as well, with that player option for $16M?
The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a trade to acquire right-hander Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians, sources tell ESPN. The Jays have been looking for another starter, and they get one in the former AL Cy Young winner. On the news:

This is exactly the big type of move fans in Toronto were hoping for from Atkins as Bieber is the type of player that can really fully turn things around for Toronto.
The return was simply a one for one which is an incredible move by Atkins to get Bieber in return for only one top prospect even though it is a very good one.
The old 1-for-1 trade. But man, Khal Stephen is quite the price to pay for a veteran SP coming off Tommy John surgery -- even if he is likely to return in 2026. #BlueJays
Bieber has yet to pitch this season as he has been recover from an injury but this is the type of big move that the Blue Jays needed to get done.
