Blue Jays acquire outfielder Corey Dickerson and reliever Adam Cimber in trade with Marlins

The Toronto Blue Jays have simultaneously addressed their bullpen depth and outfield depth at the same time.

The team announced that they have acquired veteran outfielder Corey Dickerson and side-arm throwing reliever Adam Cimber from the Miami Marlins in exchange for infielder Joe Panik and minor league pitcher Andrew McInvale. The Marlins have sent over cash to the Blue Jays to match the salaries.

Cimber, the main piece of the deal, is in the midst of having a career-best season. So far in 2021, the 30-year old has posted a 1-2 record, 2.88 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over 33 appearances and 34.1 innings pitched.

Dickerson, who is currently sidelined due to a foot injury, has had a mediocre season at the plate but has excelled at hitting right-handed pitching. That will make him a viable candidate to platoon in the outfield with Randal Grichuk or Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
