CHECKING IN: The Toronto Blue Jays have looked into trading for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, though nothing is considered “serious.” The 30-year-old McCutchen hit .256/.336/.430 over 675 plate appearances last year. He’s due $14 million in 2017, and has a $14.5 million option for 2018. Toronto is seeking an upgrade in right field, where Ezequiel Carrera is currently slated to start.
