Currently, the bullpen projects to have two spots “available” on Opening Day. It is assumed that, barring any injuries, Roberto Osuna, Ryan Tepera, Seung-hwan Oh, Danny Barnes, and Aaron Loup all have locked positions. Our own Chris Henderson wrote about this earlier this week, and it’s been a well documented position battle for the Blue Jays this spring.
Battling for the final two spots are a group of veteran relievers, and two young, big, left-handed pitchers who spent most of last year in the minors. These pitchers are: John Axford, Tyler Clippard, Al Alburquerque, Craig Breslow, Tim Mayza, and Matt Dermody.
