Seranthony Domínguez knows Jeff Hoffman from his time with the Phillies and Tyler Heineman a bit, too. Whirlwind day, but he expressed his appreciation for the O's and his excitement to join the #BlueJays “I’m very happy to be here today and will try my best every single time.”
#BlueJays lose, 3-2. A long day of baseball around the Domínguez deal ends 0-2 and they’ve dropped three in a row. They’re 63-46.
The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired right-handed pitcher Seranthony Domínguez from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for their No. 10 prospect, right-handed pitcher Juaron Watts-Brown, who has been having a strong season with a high strikeout rate and an effective slider. The Blue Jays also received cash considerations as part of the deal. This move aims to bolster an already high-strikeout bullpen, with the team reportedly also pursuing St. Louis closer Ryan Helsley to further strengthen their relief pitching. Domínguez, who has connections with former Phillies teammates Jeff Hoffman and Tyler Heineman, expressed enthusiasm about joining the Blue Jays and contributing to the team. Despite the trade, the Blue Jays have struggled on the field, suffering a 16-4 loss to the Orioles in the first game of a doubleheader, marking their third consecutive defeat and dropping their record to 63-46. The team also designated veteran reliever Chad Green for assignment amid ongoing bullpen changes. In Domínguez's debut, the Blue Jays made a close game but ultimately lost, extending their losing streak to four games. The Orioles made MLB history with their blowout win over Toronto during this stretch.
