Texas Rangers Acquire Jason Grilli From Blue Jays
The Rangers lead the league in blown saves with 16 already this season. In an attempt to solidify the bullpen Texas has made a trade for veteran righty reliever Jason Grilli.
On June 27, the Blue Jays designated 40-year-old Jason Grilli for assignment. The Texas Rangers have now acquired the 15-year veteran from Toronto. This season Grilli is 2-4 with a 6.97 ERA in 26 games.
According to T.R. Sullivan, Grilli is expected to join the Rangers in Arlington on Monday. In exchange for Grilli and cash considerations the Rangers are sending minor league outfielder Eduardo Pinto to the Jays.
