Blue Jays continue push by adding pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu

Toronto, already blessed with a promising group of young hitters, continues to add pitching. Hyun-Jin Ryu is exiting Los Angeles and heading north.

Ryu and the Blue Jays agreed to an $80 million, four-year contract, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Ryu went 14-5 with a major league-best 2.32 ERA for the Dodgers last season. He started for the National League in his first All-Star Game and finished second in Cy Young Award voting.

Toronto is building around three sons of former big league stars who broke into the majors last season: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio. Looking to surround them with proven pitching, the Blue Jays are set to add Ryu to the top of a rotation that will also include newcomers Tanner Roark and Chase Anderson.
