The Toronto Blue Jays had to take a gamble. USA Today's Bob Nightengale calls it the "biggest gamble" made at the MLB trade deadline. The move that qualified: Toronto's trade for Cleveland's Shane Bieber.

Bieber completed a fifth rehab outing on Sunday, three days after his trade to Toronto. “I'm close now,” he said ahead of the outing.

Shane Bieber inched tantalizingly closer to a return Sunday in his rehab start with triple-A Buffalo. The Blue Jays marquee deadline acquisition could be a rare difference-maker down the stretch, writes Sportsnet’s Arden Zwelling.
