The Toronto Blue Jays traded right-handed reliever Jason Grilli to the Texas Rangers on Sunday for minor league outfielder Eduard Pinto.
Texas also received cash considerations in the trade.
The Blue Jays had designated Grilli, 40, for assignment on June 27 after he had a 6.97 ERA in 26 appearances this season. He was 2-4 with one save.
Pinto, 22, is hitting .311 with four home runs and 18 RBIs for Down East, the Rangers' high Class A team in the Carolina League.
The Rangers are in desperate need for bullpen help as they lead Major League Baseball with 16 blown saves this season.
