The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly sent right-handed relief pitcher Jesse Chavez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Mike Bolsinger.
This follows a second deal, reported almost simultaneously, that the Blue Jays had acquired swingman Scott Feldman from the Houston Astros in exchange for 18-year-old pitching prospect Guadalupe Chavez.
After arriving in Toronto via an offseason deal for fan favourite Liam Hendriks, Jesse Chavez did not live up to expectations in a relief role. He leaves the Blue Jays with a 4.57 ERA over 39 games, a number largely inflated by the nine home runs he allowed over 41.
