The Toronto Blue Jays inconsistency continues along with the curse of the Seattle Mariners. But to look on the brighter side of things, we've witnessed a turnaround in Alejandro Kirk's offense.

Sooner or later his game had to turn around. Slumps don't last forever and let's hope that his success continues and that he continues to prove himself as a valuable asset to the Jays.

Blue Jays Make First Move with Genesis Cabrera: Pros & Cons

Everyone has been so curious as to what the Toronto Blue Jays first purchase would be with trade rumours lingering, but it's now official. The Jays have acquired reliever, Genesis Cabrera from the St. Louis Cardinals who was designated for assignment on July 17th. In return, the Jays have given up minor-league prospect Sammy Hernandez.

With this move, the Jays have made room for Cabrera on their 40-man roster by designating Trent Thornton. There's no surprise that the Jays picked up a reliever as there was major discussion about this. Was this a yay or nay move by the Jays? Let's take a look closer at the pros and cons of this pickup by the Jays.
