MLB Mock Trade: Jose Berrios Shakes Up Fantasy Baseball With Trade To White Sox

Feb 28, 2026; Tampa, Florida, USA; Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios (17) throws a pitch against the New York Yankees in the second inning during spring training at George M. Steinbrenner Field. | Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Players throughout the MLB have flashed their fantasy baseball value through the first week of the season.

On the pitcher's mound, Toronto Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios is expected to receive the same opportunity to show out. Berrios is dealing with injury coming into the season, enduring a stress fracture in his elbow. The Blue Jays' bullpen has undergone significant injury to start the season, but received an encouraging update ahead of the weekend.

Berrios is working to rehab his injury without surgery and reportedly faced hitters for the first time over the weekend. Along with Berrios, fellow starters Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber are dealing with injuries in the early part of the regular season. Due to the team's injuries within the bullpen, several members have seen their names kicked around the rumor mill, including the likes of Berrios.

The team reportedly expressed willingness to move the 31-year-old back in December after inking Dylan Cease to a nine-year deal. Such rumors have persisted, as teams could use Berrios' added depth within their respective bullpens. He's likely to garner notable trade interest within the market and could command a solid return for Toronto to build on.
