Orioles Trade Reliever Seranthony Dominguez To Blue Jays

The Baltimore Orioles traded reliever Seranthony Dominguez to the Toronto Blue Jays in a deal made between games of a doubleheader, receiving minor league pitcher Juaron Watts-Brown and cash considerations in return. Dominguez, who had a 3.16 ERA with the Orioles this season, immediately debuted for the Blue Jays and pitched effectively, maintaining a 0.00 ERA with his new team. Juaron Watts-Brown, a 23-year-old prospect ranked among Toronto's top prospects, has shown promise with a strong strikeout rate in the minors. The Orioles, currently out of playoff contention, are undertaking a fire sale to reset their roster and acquire controllable talent for the future. This trade is part of Baltimore's broader strategy to rebuild despite having a talented young core, while the Blue Jays aim to strengthen their bullpen for the playoff stretch. The move highlights both teams' differing priorities as the trade deadline approaches.
