The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Jordan Hicks from the St. Louis Cardinals for two minor leaguers. The New York Yankees were reportedly interested.
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks throws a pitch during the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins on July 18, 2023, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
The Blue Jays swiped Hicks after the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Hicks and outfielder Dylan Carlson drew discussions. Adding a reliever would’ve been a boon for the Yankees, who are trying to claw their way out of a hole in the American League East, but their divisional rival made a shrewd move.
Through 40 appearances so far this season, Hicks has a 3.67 ERA with 59 strikeouts. He has a career-high 12.7 SO/9 ratio. Toronto entered the day third in the division at 59-46. Jordan Hicks of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on June 19, 2023, in Washington, D.C."A decent amount of talent that just walked out," Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told the Post-Dispatch after the Hicks and Montgomery deals were done.
Robberse, from the Netherlands, had been in the Jays’ organization since 2019. He had a 4.06 ERA with 86 strikeouts in Double-A New Hampshire. Kloffenstein joined Toronto’s system in 2018. He was also at Double-A New Hampshire this year and had a 3.24 ERA with 105 strikeouts.Ryan Gaydos is a senior editor for Fox News Digital.
