The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly traded for Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price.
Shortly after reports surfaced indicating that the Los Angeles Dodgers were considered the favorites for Price, the Blue Jays are said to have ramped up their pursuit of the 29-year-old.

As we learn every year, things can change quickly at the MLB trade deadline.
Price is 9-4 this season with a 2.53 ERA. The Blue Jays are currently seven games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East, but they obviously feel they can make a serious playoff push. They already acquired an All-Star infielder earlier this week, and Price would give them a true ace down the stretch.
