Blue Jays add RHP Lowe, OF Revere on deadline day - USA TODAY
TORONTO (AP) — The Blue Jays capped a busy week with pair of trade deadline deals, bolstering their bullpen and outfield options as they seek to end the longest playoff drought in the major leagues. Toronto acquired right-hander Mark Lowe from Seattle and got outfielder Ben Revere from Philadalphia ahead of Friday's deadline for trades without waivers. "This organization definitely put their best foot forward at the trade deadline, and you've got to love seeing that," Price said after the Blue Jays rallied to beat Kansas City 7-6 in 11 innings Friday night. General manager Alex Anthopoulos has overhauled a fifth of his roster in a bid to put the Blue Jays in the postseason for the first time since consecutive World Series titles in 1992 and '93. "Alex isn't letting up, I know that," manager John... Anthopoulos, who stayed up all night Wednesday working on the Price deal, said his week has been "a whirlwind. Toronto began Friday six games behind AL East-leading New York Yankees and two games back in the wild card race. Lowe, obtained for a trio of minor league left-handers, has had a bounce-back year with the Mariners after appearing in just 18 games during the 2013-14 seasons. Lowe pitched in 34 games for Seattle this season, developing into a consistent eighth-inning option. Source: www.usatoday.com
