Whit Merrifield Says He’s Now Vaccinated After Trade to Blue Jays

Whit Merrifield Blue Jays Royals Toronto Covid-19

Two-time All-Star infielder Whit Merrifield was among the many players who changed teams at the trade deadline earlier this week, heading from Kansas City to Toronto. And while he was recently barred from entering Canada due to being unvaccinated against COVID-19, he revealed on Thursday that he has since reversed course.

Merrifield said Thursday that he would be ready to join the team when the Blue Jays return home to Toronto next week for a home series with Cleveland that begins on Aug. 12, he told reporters in Minneapolis ahead of a game against the Twins.

“I’ll be in Toronto when the team gets to Toronto,” Merrifield said, per The Athletic.
