An MLB insider labeled former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber as the 'biggest gamble' after the Cleveland Guardians traded him.

Bieber is a two-time All-Star and former AL Cy Young Award winner, but he hasn't pitched a full season since 2022 due to injury. The 30-year-old spent his entire career with the Cleveland Guardians before they traded him to the Blue Jays for pitching prospect Khal Stephen.

While bolstering the bullpen was important, the Blue Jays also took a bit of a risk with the addition of a former AL Cy Young award winner. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report recently wrote about the addition of Shane Bieber potentially being a game-changer for the Blue Jays in the second half of the year.
