Blue Jays move reliever Trevor Richards, others amid flurry of MLB trade deadline deals

The Toronto Blue Jays made several deals Tuesday ahead of Major League Baseball's trade deadline.

Toronto sent reliever Trevor Richards to the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Jay Harry before acquiring third baseman Charles McAdoo from the Pittsburgh Pirates for utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa and cash considerations.

The Jays also dealt outfielder Kevin Kiermaier to the Los Angeles Dodgers for pitcher Ryan Yarbrough. Kiermaier announced last week that he intends to retire at the end of the season.

Kiermaier, 34, was hitting just .195 with four home runs and 18 runs-batted in over 81 games with Toronto this season.
