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.

The Guardians opted to retain Steven Kwan despite multiple teams showing interest, while sending former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber to Toronto.
