6:42pm: The Twins will acquire cash considerations in return, Bannon reports.
6:31pm: The Blue Jays are acquiring right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson back from the Twins, reports Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Minnesota designated him for assignment over the weekend.
It’s the second time the Toronto front office has acquired Woods Richardson. The first came as a prospect back in 2019, when the Jays acquired him from the Mets as part of the Marcus Stroman deal. Woods Richardson was one of the better pitching prospects in MLB and found himself in another notable deadline trade two years later. Toronto packaged him and then-top prospect Austin Martin to Minnesota in ’21 for José Berríos.
More to come.
