Blue Jays Eye Bergert for Pitching Depth

0:00On March 24, the Toronto Blue Jays are eyeing ways to bolster their pitching staff after dealing with several injuries early in the season. One name floating around is right-hander Ryan Bergerd from the Kansas City Royals, who just got squeezed out of their roster. Kansas City has built a deep bullpen, leaving little room for even promising arms like Bergerd. Despite his strong showings and camp in earlier stints, the Royals opted to send him down due to limited spots and his minor league options. As an analyst see this as a perfect chance for Toronto to add upside without breaking the bank, Bergerd, a former San Diego Padres prospect, has flashed real potential and could provide the depth the Jays desperately need right now. Earlier this week, reports highlighted how his performance wasn't the issue, just roster reality in Kansas City, that opens the door for a low-cost trade or claim that fits Toronto's needs. With the Jays still tweaking their rotation, grabbing a talent like Bergerd could pay off big as they pushed through the summer schedule.
