The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring right-handed starting pitcher José Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels hours ahead of Monday's trade deadline in Major League Baseball, ESPN reports. In return, the Angels will receive shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmala, outfielder Eddie Micheletti, and right-hander Angel Rivero, also according to ESPN.
Soriano, 27, has enjoyed a strong season in 2026 as a member of the Angels rotation, and he's under team control through the 2028 season. Those multiple years of control added significantly to his trade value and explain why interim Angels general manager John Mozeliak was able to get such a substantial return.
CBS Sports will have more to come on this story.
