Angels Trade Soriano to Blue Jays

Angels have traded starting pitcher José Soriano to the Blue Jays in exchange for three prospects: shortstop Arjun Nimmela, minor-league outfielder Eddie Micheletti and teenage right-hander Angel Rivero.

The Angels are dealing Soriano, who is under team control through 2028 with a $2.9 million salary. The 6-foot-3 right-hander is having a career-best campaign with a 3.29 ERA and has been effective at keeping the ball in the park. newsindata.com

The Blue Jays are adding Soriano to a rotation that includes Dylan Cease, as they look to strengthen their pitching staff after trading Kevin Gausman to the Cubs. Soriano will help Toronto immediately as he slots into a rotation that had been relying on 42-year-old Max Scherzer and struggling Jameson Taillon.
