The Oakland A’s traded pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Blue Jays on Saturday, the team announced. In exchange, Toronto sent cash considerations.
Jackson pitched in the A’s rotation last season, making 17 starts and posting a 3.33 ERA. Despite the solid showing, though, he went unsigned over the offseason, and Oakland picked him back up in mid-April on a minor league contract.

Since re-signing with Oakland, Jackson has spent the last month tuning up in the minors. Most recently he made two starts for Triple-A Las Vegas, allowing a total of nine runs in 9u2154 innings to go along with seven walks and three homers.
