Report: Twins in on potential Blue Jays pitching target Hyun-jin Ryu

Sid Seixeiro and Donnovan Bennett discuss if Hyun-Jin Ryu is a pitcher the Toronto Blue Jays should be targeting.

The Toronto Blue Jays, along with the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Dodgers are in on free agent pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

Ryu has spent all six of his season in the MLB with the Dodgers, and is coming off a 14-5 season with a 2.32 ERA and 163 strikeouts across 182.2 innings.

While the Dodgers are reportedly looking to retain his services, Heyman said that they’re also aiming even higher at big-ticket targets, such as Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg.

Over the course of his MLB career, the 32-year-old lefty has compiled a 54-33 record with a 2.98 ERA.
