The Toronto Blue Jays look for a win after splitting their last eight games.

Revere isn’t a stranger to getting traded.

“It’s been a fun ride”, the 27-year-old outfielder said.

But he became expendable this spring when the Phillies began playing Rule 5 pick Odubel Herrera in centerfield.

“I thought he threw the ball great”, manager Ned Yost said. The fans, the coaches, my teammates – everybody.

“No, I mean everyone sees what he does on the mound but he’s an incredible person”, Chamberlain said. It’s been great here. “They just don’t have that size, I guess”. It was a blessing to be a part of this organization.

And even with all the prospects that have been traded, “we continue to replenish”, he said, crediting his scouting and development staff. Someone suggested that the Blue Jays have long been perceived as a club resigned to concede superiority to the Yankees and Red Sox.

“I wasn’t ahead of guys as well as I normally was”, Lowe said. “I had my up and downs with them, but it’s been a blessing”. That’s what you’re trying to do.

Tulowitzki played a key role in the win.

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said he had “no doubt” that Valencia will be lost on waivers, and Gibbons agreed.

“I just want to try to get on base and let the big boys do the work, ” Revere said. “But it’s a rebuilding phase”.

“But when you’re sitting there with an opportunity to acquire three players, and all three guys have a number of years of control, that’s a hard call”.

It’s widely known just how good Price and Soria are at what they do.

Seattle received minor league left-handed pitchers Nick Wells, Jake Brentz and Rob Rasmussen from the Blue Jays, and minor-league pitcher Adrian Sampson, a right-hander, from the Pirates.

Cordero, 23, has split time between Class A Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire this season. He was ranked as the Jays’ No. 28 prospect prior to the season. “Listed at 6’0”, 180 pounds, Tirado lacks an ideal starter’s frame, which has always led some scouts to project an eventual move to the bullpen. New York moved two games behind Washington in the N.L. East.

Revere, who came to the Phillies in 2013 from the Twins in exchange for pitchers Vance Worley and Trevor May, is batting. I led the league in hits here.

“We had asked for Fulmer for the last couple days and they said no”, according to Dombrowski after the trade. Madson didn’t record an out, but the Blue Jays couldn’t take the lead against Kelvin Herrera after Smoak hit into a double play that scored one and Russell Martin grounded out. Tulowitzki’s single to centre somehow got past Lorenzo Cain to get one run home, and that error opened the door for a three-run inning. He has also hit in seven* of nine spots in the order.

Cole Hamels explains in a farewell Philadelphia news conference why he’s happy to go to Texas, saying he thinks the Rangers are close to being ready to compete for a playoff spot. The Orioles were looking for corner-outfield help and they weren’t expected to do anything earth-shattering because of their lack of a big-talent surplus in the minor leagues.

“I ain’t trying to go in there and cause any havocs in the clubhouse or anything”, he added. It’s something I had to get over, you know, coming from a kid who had no money to having a lot of money real quick.
