Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins have shown that they’re always on the look out when it comes to improving their team, and struck once again on April 1st, bringing in Chris Coghlan on a minor league deal. Folks are naturally skeptical of news they read on April Fool’s day, but it turned out to be true.
In a quiet, yet valuable move, the Blue Jays strengthened the depth at several positions in their organization, with one minor league contract. Coghlan is primarily a left fielder, but has also played in right field, as well as first, second, and third base.
