According to Joel Sherman the Tampa Bay Rays have come to an agreement with the Toronto Blue Jays to acquire Eric Sogard.
The Rays have been rumored to be in the market for a right-handed hitter with pop, a closer, and an additional starter in lieu of Blake Snell’s absence. Eric Sogard is none of these options which leads me to believe that there is more at play here with the trade for the left-handed hitting utility infielder.
Sogard has had a good year for the Blue Jays, slashing .300/.363/.477 with 10 bombs and 30 runs batted in.
