They're 6-9, tied with the Boston Red Sox for the worst record in the AL East. But that might not be the biggest concern. Toronto has lost a lot of players to injuries this season, with Alejandro Kirk, Anthony Santander, Addison Barger, George Springer, and a lot of pitchers missing time already this season.
To help counter some of the early-season struggles from the offense, especially, the Blue Jays announced they made a trade with the Chicago White Sox , sending a minor league outfielder and a player to be named later for 22-homer utilityman Lenyn Sosa. Injury-riddled Blue Jays acquire Lenyn Sosa from White Sox "OFFICIAL: We've acquired INF Lenyn Sosa from the White Sox in exchange for Minor League OF Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations," the Blue Jays announced. This move from the Blue Jays comes amid a litany of injuries to the roster that are beginning to pile up.
Springer's injury is the most recent and has left the Blu eJays in need of more offensive help, even in the form of depth players. Sosa can fit such a role well, as he's shown some intriguing power in his MLB career so far. Last season, he hit 22 home runs in 518 at-bats in 140 games for the White Sox.
