The Blue Jays traded for Shane Bieber to help the team win this season but Toronto envisions the former Cy Young winner sticking around.

Acquiring Shane Bieber ahead of the trade deadline adds a potential playoff starter to the Jays’ rotation — a guy with a Cy Young on his mantle, an ERA title in his bag and three career postseason outings under his belt. However, that upside comes with risk.

The Toronto Blue Jays had to take a gamble. USA Today's Bob Nightengale calls it the "biggest gamble" made at the MLB trade deadline. The move that qualified: Toronto's trade for Cleveland's Shane Bieber.
