Within moments of Devon Travis crossing home for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 12th on Tuesday night, it was announced that the Blue Jays had made their second deal of the day.
After starting the day by acquiring outfielder Melvin Upton Jr., the Blue Jays ended it by landing veteran right-hander Joaquin Benoit from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Drew Storen and cash considerations.
This is a transaction that sees two similarly struggling relievers getting a fresh start, and while this is not a significant splash for the Blue Jays, it could help to solidify the floor of their bullpen with a veteran presence.
