The Blue Jays have made it clear to Yusei Kikuchi that he would be moved before the trade deadline and news just broke that he has been dealt to the Astros.
Yusei Kikuchi is headed to Houston and it seems like RHP Jake Bloss will be headed back to Toronto in return.
The Astros are finalizing a deal to acquire LHP Yusei Kikuchi from the Blue Jays, per source. RHP Jake Bloss, who was scratched from his start tonight, is expected to be part of the return to Toronto.

Jake Bloss, a 23-yr-old RHP, is a legit prospect. Would definitely be the best Blue Jays have gotten so far according to one scout. Mid-rotation SP potential. Plus FB & curve. Throws strikes.
Bloss went in the 3rd rd last yr. This yr in minors: 1.64 ERA, 66 IP, 31H, 21 BB, 63 Ks

There has yet to be an update on if the deal is 1 for 1 or if more players are involved.
