Twins approach Blue Jays for Jose Soriano trade offer

The Toronto Blue Jays were approached by the Minnesota Twins regarding a potential trade for pitcher Jose Soriano after acquiring him from the Los Angeles Angels on August 3. The Twins offered their No. 3 prospect Kaelen Culpepper but did not agree to include highly valued pitching prospect Riley Quick. Although the talks did not result in a deal, the Blue Jays opted to retain Soriano, who has two years of team control remaining, especially after the recent injury to starting pitcher Trey Yesavage. The Blue Jays see potential in Soriano, who had standout performances earlier this season with the Angels.
