Blue Jays Acquire Luis Urías and Assign Him to Triple‑A

An upward‑mobility clause built into the deal gives Urías a short path to Toronto’s big‑league roster and may signal additional roster moves before the trade deadline.

Overview

  • The Blue Jays traded cash to the Arizona Diamondbacks for 29‑year‑old infielder Luis Urías, with the transaction reported late Saturday and confirmed on Toronto’s transactions page.
  • Urías was immediately sent to Triple‑A Buffalo after arriving from Triple‑A Reno where he hit .361/.393/.546 in 27 games this season.
  • Reporting from Sportsnet and other outlets says the contract includes an upward‑mobility clause that would allow Urías to be promoted to the major‑league team if he elects to exercise it.
  • Toronto views the move as a low‑cost way to add multi‑position infield depth while dealing with injuries and uneven production among regulars, and the club could call him up quickly if needed.
  • Urías is a former top prospect with eight years of MLB experience and a career line of roughly .231/.329/.378 with 60 home runs, and his signing also gives the Blue Jays roster flexibility as they shape the team ahead of the trade deadline.
