A bonafide late innings relief pitcher that can come in during high-leverage situations is what Baltimore will need to pursue, and it won't come cheap.
"The Toronto Blue Jays are the team buyers are keeping their eye on at the trade deadline knowing they could move first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., shortstop Bo Bichette, DH Justin Turner, outfielders George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier, closer Jordan Romano and starters Yusei Kikuchi and Chris Bassitt," writes Nightengale.
