Unfortunately, Boston was unable to compete with the Chicago Cubs offer and will continue to scour the market for impact players.
Pearson was once deemed the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect and was expected to become either a frontline starter or dominant closer. The 27-year-old has yet to approach his potential due to control issues and poor results when using his 97.6 mph fastball -- he has a .342 batting average against his heater this season.
