Justin Shafer and Jacob Waguespack were told mid-game yesterday against the IronPigs to pack up and go, they drove to Newark and hopped on the first flight to Toronto this morning to join <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bluejays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bluejays</a>. Still waiting on the counter moves.

Waguespack was acquired from the Phillies in exchange for Aaron Loup at last season’s deadline. With the Bisons this year the 25-year-old starter has pitched a total of 43 innings, earning a 5.86 ERA with a 9.21 K/9 rate.
On the other hand, Shafer, 26, has a miniscule 0.96 ERA in 18.2 innings pitched. He does have a lower strikeout rate of 7.71 K/9, but he can still provide some injection of youth in the bullpen.
More to come&#8230;
