BAUTISTA A JAY
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired infielder Jose Bautista from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays needed some third-base insurance because of the injury to Scott Rolen, so Bautista provides just that. However, expect Marco Scutaro to continue to play every day at the hot corner during Rolen's absence, with Bautista serving as a utility player.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates' acquisition of Andy LaRoche recently made Bautista expendable. Therefore, the club adds a future asset for a former starting player that had recently been designated for assignment.
