Team insiders were tight-lipped prior to today’s deal that brought 28-year-old shortstop Adalberto Mondesi to Toronto.
Mondesi is considered one of the league’s A-list players and certainly will enhance any chances the Blue Jays have to win a playoff spot this year.
Lifetime Mondesi has compiled a .247 batting average and collected 738 hits, 84 home runs and 362 RBIs.
