Why Blue Jays Should Bring Starter from Alberta Home to Canada
There is a free-agent starter who had a better WHIP this year than Dylan Cease, a better K/9 than Freddy Peralta, and a better HR/9 than Tarik Skubal. He wouldn't cost the Blue Jays anywhere near what Skubal will command, and will be far cheaper than Peralta.
