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.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a big move when they acquired Shane Bieber, but the move could come back to haunt them later on.

Bieber is a two-time All-Star and former AL Cy Young Award winner, but he hasn't pitched a full season since 2022 due to injury. The 30-year-old spent his entire career with the Cleveland Guardians before they traded him to the Blue Jays for pitching prospect Khal Stephen.
