Blue Jays Trade Macko for Smith and Stephan | Toronto News

Blue Jays pull off a savvy trade, sending pitcher Adam Macko to the Rangers for versatile infielder Josh Smith and promising prospect Josh Stephan. Macko, a Canadian-born arm with a solid 4.91 ERA in 22 innings this year, brings experience after being acquired in last year’s Teoscar Hernández deal. In return, Toronto gets Smith — a multi-position player under contract through 2028 — and Stephan, a 24-year-old righty with a 5.44 ERA and 97 strikeouts at Triple-A. The move adds depth and flexibility for both teams as they navigate the second half of the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
