Blue Jays Acquire Jeremy Jeffress

By Mike Axisa | November 8, 2012 at 12:25pm CDT

The Blue Jays have acquired Jeremy Jeffress from the Royals for cash considerations according to his agent, report Danny Knobler and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter links). Jeffress is represented by Double Diamond Sports Management.

Kansas City designated Jeffress for assignment late last week. They originally acquired him from the Brewers in the Zack Greinke deal, but he's spent most of the last two years in Triple-A. The 25-year-old Jeffress owns a 4.89 ERA in 38 2/3 big league innings spread out over the last three years. He owns a 5.60 ERA with 9.3 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 in 82 career Triple-A innings.

      Ta wins is a good way to asses talent especially since he is a reliever ! Has good stuff! And is still young

      Yes because wins are a great way to judge a relievers potential.

        Yeah… but according to Austin, if he can re-gain his 2010 form he’ll be a stud!!!!

    Low risk high reward type deal for the Jays. Even if he doesn’t work out, I still like it. Could be like the Villanueva deal for us.

      Le’ts hold off on the high reward part. He’s no better than a #4 on his best day and 0 actual MLB success as a reliever and even less success as a starter. He’s got the fastball no doubt, but walking 8.78 batters per 9 isn’t getting it done.

        If you know Jeffress, there’s a high reward for sure.

    He is gonna be in the Triple AAA to start the season. Pitching depth. You can never have too much pitching. AA just clearing these small deals out of the way for the Bigger ones down the road (hopefully)

      It might be tough to get him to AAA since he’s out of options. If he doesn’t make the MLB squad he gets exposed to waivers.

    Can’t see him staying. One more strike and a lifetime ban. What are the odds?

    He’s probably cussing because he wasn’t traded to Colorado where they’ve voted to legalize weed.

      Canada is pretty lax on grass as well, though.

    Just be careful if you’re sitting in the “In the Action” seats, you might end up with a 99 mph fastball in your tray of sushi!

      Whoever is eating sushi at a baseball game deserves to get hit with a 99 mph fastball.

    Throws gas but that 4.7 BB/9 is pretty crazy…if the jays can make him throw strikes great pickup
