Shane Bieber didn't have too far to travel to get to Toronto. Cleveland and Canada are just separated by Lake Erie, after all. And the former Guardians' pitcher, newly acquired in a trade by the Blue Jays, was considering an unusual way of getting up north. Possibly joking, but still.

The Shane Bieber era in Cleveland has reportedly come to a close. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Guardians agreed to trade the ace starting pitcher to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday in exchange for 22-year-old pitching prospect Khal Stephen.

Pitcher Shane Bieber is headed to the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays in a deal with the rebuilding Cleveland Guardians, who also dealt right-hander Paul Sewald in the division to the AL Central-leading Tigers.
