Through this hectic time of year, the TorontoBlue Jays have been linked to so many players ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. One of the players they had been frequently linked to was veteran right hander Seth Lugo of the Royals. Kansas City has jumped right back into the race thanks to the Blue Jays' strong efforts against the Tigers this weekend and that pushed them towards extending Lugo to a two year contract woth $46 million.
Out of nowhere, the Blue Jays' success took them out of the race for one of the top starting pitchers on the market.
