Overview
- Toronto completed a trade Monday for infielder Lenyn Sosa, sending 18-year-old outfielder Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash to the White Sox.
- To add Sosa to the roster, the Blue Jays transferred Shane Bieber to the 60-day injured list, which opens a 40-man slot and rules him out until at least May 21.
- Sosa, 26, brings recent pop after a 2025 breakout with 22 home runs and 75 RBI, though he started 2026 at .212 with a .515 OPS in 12 games while playing mostly around the infield.
- The deal comes as Toronto searches for bats with George Springer sidelined by a fractured toe and the club off to a 6-9 start.
- Chicago made the swap to ease an infield logjam and added Rich, a 2025 17th-round pick who has yet to make his pro debut.
