Eager to improve their underwhelming rotation, the Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly eyeing one of the hottest starters in the National League as the non-waiver trade deadline approaches.

The Blue Jays are said to be "showing strong interest" in Mike Fiers of the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, though a deal isn't imminent and the Brewers don't appear particularly motivated to trade him.

Mired in last place in the National League Central, the Brewers are expected to unload some talent from their 25-man roster before the deadline, but Fiers may very well be part of the future in Milwaukee. The 30-year-old remains under team control through 2019 and owns a 3.12 ERA (123 ERA+) with a 3.19 strikeout-to-walk ratio since the beginning of 2014, leading the club with 3.1 wins above replacement over that span.

Though Fiers endured a rough start this season, stumbling to a 4.50 ERA over his first 14 starts, the 6-foot-2 right-hander has turned things around of late. Since June 23, Fiers owns a 2.18 ERA over five starts, allowing just 18 hits and 12 walks over his last 33 innings.

The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have fielded one of baseball's most disappointing rotations thus far. Among American League teams, the Blue Jays' rotation owns the third-worst ERA (4.35), WHIP (1.34), and strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.17).
