The Toronto Blue Jays continued their radical roster makeover Tuesday, sending veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar to the San Francisco Giants for three players.

The 30-year-old Pillar, a California native who is the longest-tenured Blue Jay, has been in the Toronto organization since being drafted in the 32nd round in 2011. He has played 695 games for the Jays, hitting .260 with 55 home runs and 231 runs batted in.

Pillar did not start Monday's game against Baltimore but delivered a pinch-hit sacrifice fly in a ninth-inning Toronto rally that fell just short. The Blue Jays lost 6-5. He joins Russell Martin, Marco Estrada, Troy Tulowitzki, Kendrys Morales, Josh Donaldson, Steve Pearce, J.A. Happ and Yangervis Solarte, all of whom have been moved in a Toronto teardown that started last season.He started last season with the Class-A Staten Island Yankees before being acquired by the Giants in the Andrew McCutchen trade. He was then assigned to the Class-A Augusta GreenJackets.

Blue Jays trade veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar to Giants for three playersThe Toronto Blue Jays have traded centre-fielder Kevin Pillar to the San Francisco Giants for right-handed pitchers Juan De Paula and Derek Law and infielder Alen Hanson. Only 1 week into the season and Jays are throwing in the towel, if there ever was one. Very sad. Attendance last night only 10,000 -- that could continue indefinitely. Also sad. P.S. Good luck, Kevin!! Idiots I just saw the announcement.
