At the trade deadline, Toronto acquired Marcus Stroman and Spencer Arrighetti as future rotation pieces. Looking ahead, the projected 2026 rotation candidates include Cease, Yesavage, Ponce, Miles, Soriano, and Arrighetti. The team still appears to have unresolved rotation needs despite the additions.
