Blue Jays eye trade for Joe Ryan to bolster rotation

The Toronto Blue Jays are exploring trade options as the season progresses. With the recent returns of Max Scherzer and Dylan Cease, and Shane Bieber nearing his comeback, they remain impacted by injuries. Cody Ponce is out for the season, prompting the team to seek additional pitching help. Joe Ryan has emerged as a potential target given his availability from a struggling team, as the Blue Jays aim to enhance their chances for postseason success. Analysts suggest acquiring Ryan could be more feasible than pursuing Tarik Skubal, due to cost considerations.
