The ace was considered one of the prime targets available ahead of Friday’s 4pm deadline. The Blue Jays gave up top pitching prospect Daniel Norris and minor league pitchers Matt Boyd and Jairo Labourt in exchange for Price. Earlier in the week, the Jays traded a handful of prospects for star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.

Price tweeted after the trade was announced, thanking the Tigers. He added “#bluejays lets ride!! Entire country rooting for us!”

Price was 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA for the Tigers and will be a free agent after the season. He was shipped out at last year’s trade deadline as well, going from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Tigers.
