According to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi, who spoke with Bob McCown and Stephen Brunt of the FAN 590’s Prime Time Sports Monday, the Blue Jays have “looked at” free-agent reliever Edwin Jackson.
Davidi mentioned that the Blue Jays are still in the process of polishing their pitching staff ahead of Thursday’s home opener. The team also made the signing of reliever Daniel Hudson official Monday morning.
Jackson, 35, spent the 2018 season with the Oakland Athletics, pitching to an ERA of 3.33 in 92.0 innings, striking out 68 and walking just 37.
Earlier in the winter, Athletics beat writer Susan Slusser reported that Jackson would be interested in a reunion with Oakland.
