When it comes to aa pitcher regardless on if they look for a relief or starting pitcher both are needed but with Bowden Francis' struggles and Max Scherzer's thumb most would agree that a starting pitcher would help the most.
When it comes to right handed hitters, there are many solid options that will be available at the trade deadline but Taylor Ward or Dane Myers would like be the best fits for Toronto.
It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out over the next month at the deadline is officially a month away.
