Blue Jays Acquire Orioles’ Seranthony Domínguez During Doubleheader

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is prompting significant roster changes, with the Toronto Blue Jays acquiring relief pitcher Seranthony Domínguez from the Baltimore Orioles in a rare mid-doubleheader trade. Domínguez, who was with the Orioles during Game 1 of the doubleheader, simply walked across Camden Yards to join the Blue Jays for Game 2, where he pitched a scoreless inning and struck out two batters. The trade highlights the Blue Jays' urgent need to bolster their bullpen due to injuries and recent poor performances, as they aim to improve their playoff chances. Despite the unusual circumstances, Domínguez expressed gratitude for the Orioles and optimism about his new opportunity in Toronto. The Orioles, out of playoff contention, continue to be sellers ahead of the deadline, while other teams, including the Yankees and Mets, are also making moves to strengthen their rosters. The trade deadline closes at 6 p.m. ET Thursday, after which teams can only add minor leaguers or free agents not already on rosters, emphasizing the urgency for teams to finalize deals.
