According to Ken Rosenthal, the Toronto Blue Jays have added some depth to their offense by adding outfielders Kevin Mench and Brad Wilkerson today. Wilkerson, who had been released by the Mariners, was signed as a free agent. Mench was acquired from the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations.

Mench should serve as a decent platoon partner with DH Matt Stairs. Blue Jays’ GM J.P. Riccardi said that he has always been a fan of Brad Wilkerson, as well. Wilkerson was struggling for Seattle, with no homers and just 5 RBI. Seems like a low-risk, decent reward signing. Wilkerson has never hit for batting average, but does have pop in his bat which could help the Jays if he turns his play up a notch.
