The Los Angeles Dodgers are eyeing Seth Lugo, a standout right-handed pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, as they approach the trade deadline. Lugo's impressive performance, highlighted by a 2.67 ERA and 88 strikeouts over 101 innings this season, has made him a prime candidate for potential acquisition.

However, sources suggest that the Toronto Blue Jays might be the frontrunners to land Lugo, given their current struggles with pitching. With the Blue Jays leading the AL East, acquiring Lugo could bolster their rotation significantly. His ability to minimize runs and hits makes him a valuable asset, even if he's only a half-season rental.
