The Blue Jays are acquiring right-hander Chase Lee from the Tigers, reports Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. Minor league lefty Johan Simon is heading in the other direction, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. This move will open a 40-man spot for the Tigers to make their signing of Kyle Finnegan official. The Jays have a 40-man vacancy but Lee will take up the final spot once this becomes official.
More to come.
Dang, I kinda liked him.
Well, the Tigers get an entire minor league in return, so advantage Tigers.
Hey, Lee’s just that good.
Bluejays minor league isn’t all that great sooooo…maybe advantage tigers lol
Tigers selling low on decent, controllable relievers is probably not what they should be doing right now
+ RJ Petit. They already have poor pitching depth.
Let’s see what the Tigers get in return before we judge them too harshly.
There are only 40 roster spots…
Someone had to go. Compared to the other choices, I’m good with Lee being traded.
That’s the wrong Whiff Lee
The baseball reference link is for the wrong Chase Lee
