Blue Jays Acquire Brad Hand
3 years agoThe Toronto Blue Jays have acquired relief pitcher Brad Hand in a trade with the Washington Nationals. Toronto sent catcher Riley Adams to Washington in return. Hand has pitched to a 3.59 ERA and a 4.33 FIP, 21 saves, 42 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 42.2 innings for the Nationals this year. This could be good news for fantasy managers with the veteran reliever on their roster, as he could be in line for significant save opportunities down the stretch on a contending Blue Jays team. Toronto's bullpen has struggled at times this season, while seven different relief pitchers have recorded a save. Jordan Romano looks like Hand's primary competition for save opportunities.
