Blue Jays Trade Varsho for Pitching Future | MLB News

The Blue Jays just pulled off a savvy trade, sending Daulton Varsho to the Astros for pitcher Spencer Arrighetti — a move that boosts their rotation with a long-term gem locked up until 2029. With Varsho’s contract expiring and Toronto out of playoff contention, the deal makes sense. Arrighetti’s talent, combined with returning Cody Ponce and new addition Jose Soriano (who won’t hit free agency until 2026), gives the Jays a much stronger, more stable pitching staff heading into next season. They weren’t just selling — they were buying future wins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
