Blue Jays continue midseason makeover, add Ben Revere from Phillies

Alex Anthopoulos and the Toronto Blue Jays aren't done dealing yet.

As reported by MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, outfielder Ben Revere is going from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Blue Jays, joining Troy Tulowitzki, LaTroy Hawkins, David Price and Mark Lowe as Anthopoulos' trade acquisitions this week.

That's an ace, an All-Star shortstop, two bullpen arms and now a starting left fielder for those of you keeping track.

The Phillies will be receiving right-handers Jimmy Cordero and Alberto Tirado from Toronto for Revere.

With his .298/.334/.374 slash line and 24 steals, Revere will fit perfectly near the bottom of the Blue Jays' all-powerful lineup. He also gives them a left-handed bat to provide some balance on a roster stacked with righties.

In the outfield – he'll likely see most of his playing time in left – his range is good but he's reputed to have a weak throwing arm. However, he's a definite defensive upgrade over Chris Colabello, Danny Valencia and Ezequiel Carrera. If Revere impresses, there's a chance he could stick around beyond this season as he's only 27 and under club control through the 2017 season.
