The Blue Jays have contacted the Pirates regarding Mitch Keller, who is also drawing interest from teams like the Yankees, Mets, and Cubs. Keller, signed through 2028, fits Toronto's needs as Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer may reach free agency after this season. Kevin Gausman is signed for one more year, while notable injuries have affected their pitching prospects. The Blue Jays seek a reliable arm like Keller, especially given their young pitchers' struggles and injuries.
"Adding a steady arm like Keller, who's in his prime and affordably signed for three additional seasons, has to hold appeal for the Blue Jays - particularly given the number of pitching injuries they've seen among their prospect class and other young arms in recent years."
"Keller's fit with the Blue Jays is natural in many ways. Toronto will see right-handers Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer reach free agency at season's end, vacating two spots in the rotation."
