According to a tweet from Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman, the Giants and the Blue Jays are in serious discussion over starting pitching. Heyman has reported that the Giants are interested in either Jason Frasor or Scott Downs, whose name has come up several times in the Red Sox deadline plans.
FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal countered with a tweet of his own just seven minutes later, saying that the Giants don’t have interest in Frasor and that the sides can’t agree on Downs.
Downs is having his best year since 2008 with a 2.34 ERA and a 1.016 WHIP, despite a 4-5 record. Frasor has fallen off the horse a bit as he’s sporting a 4.62 ERA and a 1.590 WHIP after having a career year in 2009 (2.50 ERA, 1.023 WHIP).
