The Blue Jays have made a move to bolster their bullpen, acquiring right-handed reliever Seranthony Domínguez from the Orioles in a trade for right-handed pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown, a source told MLB.com’s Jake Rill on Tuesday.
The clubs have not confirmed the deal.
Domínguez, 30, is 2-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 43 games this season, striking out 54 over 41 2/3 innings. He sports a 3.54 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over his career, fanning 335 in 285 frames, all in relief.
Watts-Brown, 23, was ranked as Toronto’s 10th-best prospect in the latest MLB Pipeline team Top 30 Prospects list. He’s gone 2-5 over 19 starts across High-A and Double-A this year, posting a combined 3.54 ERA while striking out 115 over 89 innings.
