The Toronto Blue Jays are still shopping for starting pitching despite already acquiring David Price on Wednesday, according to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish.

“According to an organizational source, the team is still looking at options on the trade market, with both rotation and bullpen options on the table.”

“Two options that the Jays could look at are Padres’ righty Andrew Cashner and Mets’ lefty Jon Niese, according to a source.”

I’m not so sure that Niese is even available at this point especially given the injury to Steven Matz and the poor and uneven performance of Bartolo Colon.

Then throw in the fact that young pitchers Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard are all facing innings limits.
