The Toronto Blue Jays continued to stock up at the trade deadline, acquiring reliever Mark Lowe from the Seattle Mariners.
The Blue Jays sent left-handers Nick Wells, Jacob Brentz and Rob Rasmussen to Seattle in the deal.
Lowe, a 32-year-old right-hander, has a 1.00 earned-run average with 37 strikeouts and 11 walks in 36 innings. He can become a free agent at the end of the season.
Getting Lowe is the latest signal that the Blue Jays are all-in on trying to make the playoffs this year, even at the expense of the future.
Toronto has traded several prospects this week to get shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, reliever LaTroy Hawkins, ace starter David Price and now Lowe.
The new-look Blue Jays bullpen now features closer Robert Osuna, Lowe, Hawkins, lefty Brett Cecil and righty Aaron Sanchez.
The club also traded for Phillies outfielder Ben Revere before the deadline, sending right-handers Jimmy Cordero and Alberto Tirado to the Phillies.
