The Toronto Blue Jays finalized a deadline‑day trade for reliever Louis Varland and infielder Ty France from the Minnesota Twins, sending outfielder Alan Roden and pitching prospect Kendry Rojas in return.

Varland arrives after posting a stellar 2.02 ERA this season and extends team control through 2030, offering immediate bullpen impact, while France adds a steady right‑handed bat and defensive flexibility at first base.

The move represents a bold push by Toronto to reinforce its roster with experienced, controllable assets.
