Like the Mets and Yankees, the Blue Jays remain focused on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, but they are also keeping an eye out for other targets in case the superstar outfielder lands elsewhere.

On the pitching front, Toronto is among teams that are showing interest in former Mets right-hander Luis Severino, according to Ben Nicholsen-Smith of Sportsnet.

The veteran is coming off a strong year in which he stayed healthy and pitched to 3.91 ERA across 31 outings.
