The Blue Jays have announced the acquisition of Jason Frasor for minor league pitchers Myles Jaye and Daniel Webb. Frasor returns to the Jays after being with the White Sox for less than half of a season. The Jays 40 man roster has one spot available for Frasor.

It appears that the Jays bullpen picture is now reasonably complete. Sergio Santos, Frasor, Casey Janssen and Jesse Litsch will anchor the right side and Darren Oliver and Carlos Villuaneva providing lefy and long relief.

Frasor is married to a Toronto girl so his wife will be happy.

Jaye was a forgotten name behind Syndergaard, Sanches and Nicolino but he pitched well in his first full season. He has yet to pitch in full season ball and is several years away. Webb made a lot of progress this tear but many experts thought he was a good bullpen prospect with a heavy sinker. Webb was headed to Dunedin before this trade.
