Blue Jays land Soriano as Angels collect top prospect Nimmala
The Toronto Blue Jays acquire RHP José Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for SS Arjun Nimmala and two lower-tier prospects (Eddie Micheletti Jr. and Angel Rivero). Soriano provides a mid-rotation option behind Dylan Cease for the next two years, while the Angels land the Blue Jays’ top prospect, Nimmala, who’s 20 and viewed as a potential long‑term shortstop with upside. Micheletti and Rivero are depth pieces, but the hammer of the deal is Soriano for Nimmala, reshaping both teams’ immediate war chests and prospect trajectories.
