ESPN - The Blue Jays sent cash to the Rangers on Friday in exchange for Kevin Mench and signed free agent Brad Wilkerson to bolster their outfield, according to The Associated Press.

Mench was playing in Triple-A Oklahoma, while Wilkerson was released by Seattle on April 30.

"I'm working on three hours sleep," Mench said before the start of a four-game series against the Indians. "It's been a whirlwind last 24 hours."

"They are two guys we've always liked," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "We've been looking for a right-handed bat to complement [Matt] Stairs at DH. We've also been looking for a left-handed hitter. To be able to get both is like a bonus." [READ]
