Blue Jays field trade inquiries for Jose Soriano hours after acquiring him

The Toronto Blue Jays made two trades before the deadline, acquiring pitcher Jose Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels. Shortly thereafter, other teams began reaching out to the Blue Jays to inquire about Soriano's availability, despite his recent acquisition. Given Soriano's contract status and the Blue Jays' focus on the future, it is unlikely they will trade him at this time. Observers view this as an unusual trade inquiry so soon after the Blue Jays’ deal.
