What happened: The Blue Jays traded right-hander Tommy Nance and $250,000 in international signing bonus money to the Twins for catcher/infielder Ryan Sprock, who reports to Single-A Vancouver. Toronto separately activated Braydon Fisher off the bereavement list, making him available out of the bullpen for tonight's game against the Padres in San Diego.
Why it matters: FanGraphs had Sprock ranked among Minnesota's top 31 prospects, suggesting the Twins value his bat enough to flip a big-league reliever to acquire him. Fisher's activation gives Toronto a fresh bullpen arm for the series finale before the trade deadline stretch.
By the numbers: Sprock is hitting .297/.427/.428 in 67 games at Single-A this season.
What to watch: Sprock begins his assignment with Vancouver while Nance joins Minnesota's bullpen. Fisher is available tonight as the Blue Jays close out their series with the Padres.
