The Toronto Blue Jays have sent Ben Revere to the Nationals in exchange for pitcher Drew Storen to help shore up the bullpen.
Twitter was all abuzz when news broke that the Toronto Blue Jays had reportedly acquired reliever Drew Storen from the Washington Nationals for outfielder Ben Revere.
Here are some of the highlights:
Some people liked the deal for Toronto
#BlueJays dealing from area of strength, with Pompey and Saunders possibly ready for everyday roles. Toronto can trade a bat for an arm.

Loving the BP options now.

Great deal for both clubs. Blue Jays fill a need from a position of depth. Storen's ceiling is very high. https://t.co/FF0ubhRpu6

Seems as though #Bluejays have added to their late inning relief corps with Drew Storen for Ben Revere. Surplus for need, I dig it. #Jays

Who is even on the Nationals right now? Do I know these guys?

The Nats are obsessed with ex-Phillies. Looking forward to watching Ben Revere misplay fly balls in center field at Nationals Park.
