MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Koehler, Tom

Aug 20, 2017 - 8:19 AM RHP Tom Koehler was acquired from Miami on Saturday in exchange for minor league RHP Osman Gutierrez. The trade caps a nine-year career in the Marlins organization for Koehler, who was selected in the 18th round of the 2008 draft. Koehler made at least 30 starts for the Marlins in each of the previous three seasons but struggled this season, when he spent time on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, was demoted twice to Triple-A New Orleans and went 1-5 with a 7.92 ERA in 12 big league starts. He was with New Orleans, for whom he was 1-1 with a 1.67 ERA, at the time of the trade. Koehler could vie for a rotation spot with the Blue Jays, who have two starters on the disabled list.
