The Toronto Blue Jays initially struggled in the 2025 season and acquired veteran pitchers Spencer Turnbull and Jose Ureña in hopes of bolstering their roster. As the season progressed, the Jays found success, leading the American League East and abandoning plans to trade these players. Ureña transitioned to minor-league deals with other teams, while Turnbull, despite a poor start leading to his release, found a new opportunity with the Chicago Cubs late in the season, illustrating the unpredictable nature of player dynamics in baseball.
Earlier in the 2025 season, the Toronto Blue Jays brought in veteran pitchers Spencer Turnbull and Jose Ureña, looking for immediate help during a rough patch.
By mid-July, the Jays had surged to the top of the American League East and shifted their focus from trading veterans to making significant acquisitions.
Despite a disappointing performance with a 7.11 ERA and 2.526 WHIP, Spencer Turnbull was able to join the Chicago Cubs shortly after being released.
Turnbull's transition to the Cubs exemplifies the unpredictability of player movements and the unforeseen opportunities that can arise even after a rough start.
