The
Toronto Blue Jays added some experience to their outfield Friday, acquiring
Kevin Mench in a trade with the
Texas Rangers and signing free agent
Brad Wilkerson.
The Blue Jays gave the Rangers cash for Mench, who was with Triple-A Oklahoma after failing to make the club as a non-roster invitee in spring training. Mench was hitting .282 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 29 games for Oklahoma.
Wilkerson was released by the Seattle Mariners on April 30.
