TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired ace pitcher David Price from the Detroit Tigers, according to multiple media reports.
The Blue Jays reportedly sent their top prospect, left-hander Daniel Norris, to Detroit as part of the trade.
Price won the Cy Young Award as the American League’s top pitcher in 2012 with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 29-year-old is 9-4 this season with a 2.53 earned-run average.
Price is a pending free agent who will command a hefty price this off-season.
In his major-league career, Price is 95-55 with a 3.13 ERA and 1,285 strikeouts in 1367 1/3 innings.
Price is on rotation to start Sunday.
“Excitement at an all-time high. Get to compete and chill with one of my role models in baseball. See you in September my man!” Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman posted on Twitter.
