Wil Ledezma Claimed By Toronto

Today, the Toronto Blue Jays claimed Wil Ledezma, off of waivers. Ledezma was designated for assignment, on December 23, by the Pirates. This will be the 7th team he has played for, in his, soon to be, 9th year in the majors, and by the start of the 2011 season, he will be 30 years old.

The Pirates were hoping Ledezma would clear waivers, and accept the assignment in Indianapolis. New Pirates manager, Clint Hurdle, wanted more left handed relievers, while he was still with the team, will more than likely still be looking to add more left handed depth, with his departure. With the Pirates, rumored to be, interested, left handed starter, Jeff Francis, his acquisition would most certainly put Scott Olsen, in the bullpen.
