Overview
- A trade announced Monday sent infielder Lenyn Sosa from the White Sox to the Blue Jays for 18-year-old outfielder Jordan Rich plus a player to be named later or cash.
- To open a 40-man roster spot, Toronto transferred Shane Bieber to the 60-day injured list, which keeps him out until at least May 21 under MLB rules.
- The Jays are short on healthy hitters after recent injuries to George Springer and others, so Sosa arrives as immediate bench and infield help.
- Sosa, 26, offers versatility and power after a 2025 breakout with 22 home runs and 75 RBI, though he started 2026 at .212 over 12 games.
- Chicago moved him due to a crowded infield and rising prospects, making a player with fewer at-bats this spring expendable.
