Latest Rumors
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that a trade of Jose Berrios is "likely," with the Blue Jays appearing to be the "leading option."
It had seemed to be trending toward Berrios being traded ahead of Friday's deadline, and now the only question seems to be the destination. Rosenthal hears that the Blue Jays have emerged as the front-runners, but there's no word yet on what they would give up. It will be a lot, as Berrios is under team control for 2022, as well.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post was told by rival executives that they believe the Blue Jays and Rays are the "main contenders" to land Trevor Story.
Sherman adds that the Mets have also had interest in Story but don't view him as a "priority." He does not mention the Cardinals, a club which had previously been connected to the shortstop. The Giants have also been listed as a potential landing spot for Story. It seems to be a possibility that Story won't wind up going anywhere.
