Toronto Blue Jays Predicted to Acquire All-Star Pitcher in Blockbuster Move

MLBTradeRumors analysts have linked the Toronto Blue Jays to a potential trade for Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore. Entering his final year of club control with a projected salary of $8.7 million, Gore is considered a viable trade target for teams seeking rotation depth, with Texas potentially open to dealing him to shed payroll and add prospects.

Toronto is expected to seek rotation help this offseason to support starters Dylan Cease, Jose Soriano, Trey Yesavage, and Cody Ponce. With rotation candidates Jose Berrios, Bowden Francis, and Jake Bloss all rebounding from injuries, the writer argues that adding Gore would provide Toronto with a much-needed left-handed starting option.
