The Toronto Blue Jays are still going. Their latest acquisition before the MLB non-waiver trade deadline is an outfielder.
Toronto will receive Ben Revere from the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. The talks between the two clubs were first reported by Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly and Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Conflicting rumors and reports embattled this potential deal today, but it's said Revere will be on his way to Toronto. It's unknown who the Phillies will get in return at this point.
Among Price, Tulowitzki, Lowe, Hawkins and now Revere, the Blue Jays have turned over 20% of their roster in the last 72 hours.

Here's proof of the rollercoaster discussions between the Blue Jays and Phillies:
Addendum: The Blue Jays aren't interested in Ben Revere AT CURRENT ASKING PRICE; nothing current. PHI talking to some other team.

The Phillies have re-engaged the Jays on Ben Revere. Price could be dropping, as the deadline nears.

The Baltimore Orioles were another club in the mix for Revere, but they acquired Gerardo Parra from the Milwaukee Brewers, which pretty much took them out of the running.
Sources: #Orioles talking about getting both #Brewers' Parra and #Phillies' Revere and sending reliever Tommy Hunter to #Cubs.

As I tweeted last night, Ben Revere to the #Orioles is still in play. O's have nothing alive on Yoenis Cespedes, Justin Upton or Marlon Byrd

Revere, 27, is batting .298/.334/.374 with 49 runs scored, 1 home run, 26 RBIs and 24 stolen bases in 96 games this season. He is signed through the 2017 season.
The Blue Jays also acquired right-handed reliever Mark Lowe from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Nick Wells, Jacob Brentz and Rob Rasmussen, according to the team's official Twitter account.
We'll be keeping updates on this transaction.
