Open Extended ReactionsThe Toronto Blue Jays acquired Shane Bieber in a trade Thursday with the Cleveland Guardians, betting that the former Cy Young Award winner will be able to quickly bounce back from injury rehabilitation. The first-place Blue Jays sent right-handed pitching prospect Khal Stephen, a second-round draft pick from Mississippi State, to the Guardians in the trade, which was announced Thursday. Bieber is 62-32 with a 3.22 ERA over parts of seven seasons with the Guardians. The two-time All-Star is the second pitching acquisition this week for the Blue Jays, who also brought in hard-throwing reliever Seranthony Dominguez in a trade Tuesday with the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays, who entered Thursday with a four-game lead over the New York Yankees atop the AL East, have a team ERA of 4.27, the ninth worst in the majors.
