Blue Jays Interested In Jason Bergmann

The Blue Jays have expressed interest in Jason Bergmann, tweets Bill Ladson of MLB.com. Bergmann was desginated for assignment by the Nationals on Thursday. At the time of Bergmann's DFA, MLBTR speculated that the Jays could take a look at the right-hander, given former Nats' scouting director Dana Brown's familiarity with the 28-year-old. Brown now works on Alex Anthopoulos's staff in Toronto. In a second tweet, Ladson adds that if they acquired Bergmann, the Jays probably wouldn't need him until mid-season. The Nationals have a ten-day window, as of Thursday's roster move, to attempt to finalize a trade involving Bergmann.
