Blue Jays trade Brad Emaus to the Rockies

By Allan

The Toronto Blue Jays have traded infielder Brad Emaus to the Colorado Rockies according to the Rockies official Twitter account. The Blue Jays will receiver right handed pitcher Chris Malone in exchange of Emaus.

Emaus will be headed to Triple-A so the Rockies won’t need to make any roster move reports to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.

Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com adds that the Blue Jays will receive a player to be named later or cash considerations for the infielder.

Yesterday, we learned that Toronto recieved Emas back after he cleared waivers.  Emaus was designated for assignment by the New York Mets on April 19.

The 25-year-old Emaus was a Rule 5 draft pick by the Mets in December.  He was hitting .162/.262/.162 in 14 games for the Mets this year and he had a legitimate chance to be the team’s every day second baseman when Spring Training broke.
