The Toronto Blue Jays are still looking for the missing piece to their starting rotation and it looks like Texas Rangers Tyler Mahle might be that player.

Blue Jays looking at trade with the Rangers for pitcher Tyler Mahle
According to reports, the Blue Jays main concern with the trade deadline approaching is acquiring a starting pitcher as they need to find a reliable arm for the playoffs.
The Blue Jays are apparently interested in trading for Rangers pitcher Tyle Mahle who currently has a 2.34 ERA on the season in 77 innings pitched with a 1.13 WHIP in that time.
In this trade proposal, the Toronto Blue Jays acquire starting pitcher Tyler Mahle from the Texas Rangers.
Mahle is currently on the 15-day IL with right shoulder fatigue and hasn't pitched since June 10th, but he has been effective when on the mound. In 14 starts, he has a 2.34 ERA in 77 innings.
He's given up just 60 hits in those 77 innings and has a WHIP of 1.13. -French

The Rangers have a 41-42 record on the season right now which is why they will likely miss the playoffs and end up being sellers at the deadline.
Many believe that the Blue Jays are the top destination for Mahle as they could offer something solid to the Rangers and are in need of a pitcher.
According to MLB insiders Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel, Mahle has a fair chance of being traded, and Toronto is listed as a potential destination. -French
The Blue Jays have been linked to multiple pitchers but Mahle would probably end up being the best fit
