TORONTO (AP) – The Toronto Blue Jays have landed the National League’s reigning ERA champion.  A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press the Jays have worked out a four-year, $80 million package with Hyun-Jin Ryu. The South Korean native compiled a 2.32 earned run average and tied his career high for victories, going 14-5 with 163 strikeouts in 182 2/3 innings.  Ryu was named to the 2019 NL All-Star team and finished second in the league’s Cy Young balloting. He is 54-33 with a 2.98 ERA in 126 big league games since 2013, all with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
