The Toronto Blue Jays have traded for pitcher Simeon Woods-Richardson from the Minnesota Twins, marking a return for the 25-year-old who was originally acquired by the Twins from Toronto nearly five years ago. Woods-Richardson is currently struggling, holding the worst earned run average (ERA) in the American League and yielding the most runs among pitchers with at least 40 innings pitched this season. After being designated for assignment by the Twins on May 30, the Blue Jays acquired him for cash considerations. Manager John Schneider expressed confidence in Woods-Richardson's potential, noting the team's familiarity with him and the possibility of making adjustments to improve his performance. Despite a promising start to his career, Woods-Richardson has faced challenges this season, allowing 65 hits and 46 runs in 47.2 innings. The Blue Jays are seeking to bolster their pitching depth amid injuries to key players like José Berríos and Max Scherzer, making this acquisition timely as they aim to improve their current 29-33 record.
