Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna is still serving a 75 game suspension stemming from an arrest for assaulting a woman. Osuna is not eligible to return until August 5th, but has been pitching in the minor leagues on a rehab assignment.
According to Ken Rosenthal the Blue Jays are trying to trade Osuna before the trade deadline, via MLB Trade Rumors:
Rival executives say #BlueJays are trying to trade Roberto Osuna, who is eligible to return from his 75-game domestic-violence suspension on Aug. 5. Osuna currently on rehabilitation assignment. Has yet to allow run in six IP in rookie ball, High A and AAA.

The other teams in the league must be lining up to get Osuna. Who doesn’t want a guy coming off of a suspension for domestic violence? Besides the Cubs and Yankees who both looked past Aroldis Chapman’s domestic violence arrest.
