Ross Atkins is finally active and has pulled through with the Blue Jays' first deal ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The AL East leaders are officially upgrading their roster in a deal with a division rival.
Toronto is acquiring right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Orioles in exchange for pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown. This is exactly what the team needed and this likely will not be the last bullpen addition this team makes.
Dominguez has been excellent this season, posting a 3.24 ERA with a 3.47 FIP and a 11.66 K/9. He has been one of the most reliable arms in the Orioles’ bullpen and will now bolster the Blue Jays' unit.
