The Toronto Blue Jays’ interest in George Springer is well-documented. Now, they’re after another Houston Astros outfielder.

The Houston Astros are among the teams most interested in signing free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley. With George Springer likely to depart, leaving a gaping hole in the outfield, retaining Brantley is an essential part of the offseason. But the team, as expected, is facing serious competition.

The Toronto Blue Jays have interest in Brantley, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.
