Blue Jays Acquire Catcher Before Rangers Loss

The Blue Jays just pulled off a savvy trade, snagging catcher Owen Carapellotti from the A’s for pitcher Hayden Juenger—just before their Sunday game against the Rangers. Carapellotti, who’s been crushing it in Single-A with eight homers and 20 RBIs, brings college All-American pedigree from Georgetown. The A’s made room by DFAing infielder Brett Harris. Now Carapellotti joins a stacked Blue Jays catching corps led by Alejandro Kirk. With the trade deadline looming, this move hints at bigger moves ahead—maybe even involving pitcher Kevin Gausman. But despite the splashy deal, the Jays fell short, losing 7-4 to the Rangers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
