The Blue Jays added plenty of pitching on the final day before the trade deadline. In three separate deals, the Blue Jays added Scott Feldman from the Houston Astros for pitching prospect Guadalupe Chavez, Mike Bolsinger from the Dodgers for Jesse Chavez, and a very late addition of Francisco Liriano and two prospects from the Pirates for Drew Hutchison.
The moves provide plenty of depth for both the rotation and the bullpen, filling a great need for the Blue Jays prior to the deadline.
Looking specifically at the deal for Scott Feldman, the Blue Jays are adding an experienced right handed swingman, not all that much different from what they had in Jesse Chavez.
