Toronto Blue Jays Announce Deal With White Sox
GettyRoss Atkins general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays speaks to the media ahead his team’s MLB game against the Tampa Bay Rays at the Rogers Centre on May 18, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Before Tuesday’s game, the Blue Jays announced that they had made a trade with the Chicago White Sox.
The Blue Jays Wrote: “OFFICIAL: We’ve acquired INF Lenyn Sosa from the White Sox in exchange for Minor League OF Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations.
To make room, RHP Shane Bieber has been transferred to the 60-day IL.”
MLB World Reacts To Blue Jays-White Sox Deal
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Thomas Hall: “#BlueJays acquire additional infield depth in Sosa, who’s out of options and comes with 5 seasons of MLB experience. Transferring Shane Bieber to the 60-day IL doesn’t change anything with his status. It simply opens up a 40-man spot.”
Mitch Bannon: “The #BlueJays announce they’ve traded for infielder Lenyn Sosa from the White Sox for minor-league outfielder Jordan Rich and a PTBNL/cash. Sosa was a league-average hitter last year, hitting 22 homers for the White Sox. Can play 2B, 3B, 1B.”
@JoshuaHowsam: “That’s fascinating. Guarantees Bieber is out until late May, but does give them a RH bat. Assuming Tyler Fitzgerald to the minors (who somehow never got into a game)”

@Oakvillejaysfan: “He hit 22 home Runs last year !”
@AveryChenier: “22 homers last year, plays all over the infield and has hit lefties. It’s a little interesting at least!”
@TodayJays: “Lenyn Sosa has flexibility and should be able to help boost this lineup He’s off the a slow start this year, but last year he was solid (.727 OPS) It’s not going to fix the injury issues, but this is a start for sure”
@dcshoes0630: “WE GOT A BAT”
