Berr\u00edos was 7-5 with a 3.48 ERA in 20 starts for the Twins this season, and attracted interest from several contenders. Toronto began the day at 51-48, in the fifth spot chasing two AL wild-card slots. The 27-year-old Berr\u00edos was Minnesota\u2019s unquestioned ace, a two-time All-Star who has been as durable as any pitcher in the game and remains under team control through the 2022 season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-231109\" src=\"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Happ-JA-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"119\" \/>ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ and cash from the Minnesota Twins for right-handed pitcher John Gant and a minor-leaguer. The deal was finalized before the trade deadline. The 38-year-old Happ is in his 15th major league season and his first with the Twins after signing for $8 million this year. Happ has an 8.74 ERA over his last 14 starts after beginning the season strong. The Cardinals will be his eighth major league team. He followed right-hander Jos\u00e9 Berr\u00edos out of Minnesota\u2019s rotation, after the Twins traded him to Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(AP)\u00a0 The playoff-chasing Toronto Blue Jays won the pursuit for All-Star pitcher Jos\u00e9 Berr\u00edos, acquiring the Minnesota right-hander for two minor leaguers.
