Toronto Blue Jays miss out on big trade as the New York Mets steal one of their targets away

The Blue Jays have been having a lot of issues with their bullpen and not because they are playing poorly but because of all the injuries they currently have including Ryan Burr who just went down for the season.

Toronto was apparently interested in trading for Soto as they are currently in need of at least one reliever and the Orioles will be sellers at the deadline since the have no chance of making the playoffs.

Unfortunately, the Mets acquired Soto today in exchange for prospects Wellington Arecena and Cameron Foster which means the Blue Jays could have gotten Soto for a small return as well.

This would have been a great pick up for the Blue Jays as Soto is having solid year as he currently has a 3.96 ERA on the season in 36.1 innings pitched to go along with 44 strikeouts and 1 save.

The Blue Jays will unfortunately now have to look elsewhere for help in their bullpen which is unfortunate but the good news is that the trade deadline has still plenty of great options for them.
