Blue Jays acquire Taijuan Walker from Mariners

With injuries piling up, it’s become clear as day that the Toronto Blue Jays need another starter in their rotation. Well, it appears they’ve found a veteran arm to fill the void.

According to reports, the team is on the verge of acquiring righty Taijuan Walker from the Seattle Mariners in exchnage for a player to be named later.

Walker, 28, is currently in his eighth MLB season and has already appeared in more games in 2020 than he did in the previous two seasons due to the elbow issues and undergoing Tommy John surgery.

In five starts, Walker has posted a 2-2 record, 4.00 ERA, and 1.07 WHIP over 27.0 innings pitched.
