Breaking Trade News: Kevin Melillo for Cash

According to the transaction log at MLB.com, Toronto has traded for infielder Kevin Melillo. In return, the Oakland Athletics will receive cash considerations. The Blue Jays also outrighted Hector Luna to Syracuse.

Melillo played 38 games with the Sacramento Rock Cats of the Pacific Coast League. He batted .260 with 5 homers and 17 RBIs. He's a left handed batter, primarily used as a second baseman. Melillohas been optioned to Syracuse.

This pickup will most likely ensure that Marcos Cabral will be sent down. In fact, he has not been on the official roster for Syracuse the past two days, however, I saw him in uniform during Wednesday's game. He's currently listed with Dunedin.
