"The biggest issue is his contract, as he's owed $67 million over the next three years. Despite the large chunk of change he is owed, when healthy, Berríos is a reliable innings eater, and the Jays will likely have to eat some of the money to make a deal happen anyway. Here are three teams that could be interested in him if the Blue Jays are willing to eat some money in a deal."
"The Angels have more questions than answers in their rotation heading into 2025. Yusei Kikuchi and José Soriano are solid arms, but next in line are the oft-injured Grayson Rodriguez, Alek Manoah, and potentially Reid Detmers. Berríos could slot in nicely as a dependable starter if they are unable to land one in free agency. The Angels have money; owner Arte More has consistently invested in the team."
"The issue for them has been spending that money on the wrong players. He's never shied away from a reclamation project and may be enticed by a former All-Star at a discounted price. The Giants lack quality depth after ace Logan Webb and Robbie Ray - enter José Berríos as a solid number three option. A move to San Francisco could be exactly what Berríos needs to get back on track."
José Berríos is owed $67 million over the next three years, creating the primary obstacle to a trade despite his ability to eat innings when healthy. The Angels could target Berríos to stabilize a rotation that lacks reliable depth after Kikuchi and Soriano, with owner Arte Moreno willing to pursue reclamation projects. The Giants could use Berríos as a solid No. 3 starter, with Oracle Park's pitcher-friendly environment helping reduce his home runs and Buster Posey preferring cost-controlled bounce-back options. The Mets, with ample payroll capacity, would gain a dependable starter to address urgent rotation needs.
