The Toronto Blue Jays have solidified their bullpen hours before the Major League Baseball trade deadline, acquiring relievers Anthony Bass and Zach Pop from the Miami Marlins for shortstop prospect Jordan Groshans.
Bass, 34, has a 2-3 record with a 1.41 earned run average over 44 2/3 innings with the Marlins this season, with 45 strikeouts and 10 walks.Bass will get the chance to pitch in meaningful games in front of Blue Jays fans, which he didn't have the opportunity to do in his first stint with the club. The Blue Jays played home games during the shortened 2020 season at Sahlen Field, home of the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, because of COVID-19 restrictions at the Canada-U.S. border.
"Our end goal is to win the World Series. So that part is exciting, going to Toronto for that opportunity." He was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 23rd round of the 2014 MLB draft, but decided not to sign and instead played collegiately at the University of Kentucky. "It's pretty special to be able to go back home and see my family and play for the Blue Jays," he said in Miami.
