Toronto's starters ranked third in the AL with a 3.79 ERA and fourth in batting average against (.239). It's not a bad group for the Blue Jays, but there's no question adding Rodriguez would make it an even bigger strength.
Rodriguez posted a 13-8 record with a 4.74 ERA, 185 strikeouts and 46 walks over 157 2/3 innings for the Red Sox in 2021. He's spent his entire six-year MLB career in Boston, where he helped the Red Sox win the 2018 World Series.
