It looks like Ross Atkins and the rest of the Blue Jays’ front office are already working at improving the roster this off-season as they made their first roster addition on Monday.
According to both MLB Insider Rob Murray and TSN’s Scott Mitchell, it sounds like the Blue Jays will acquire Chase Anderson in exchange for minor league first baseman, Chad Spanberger, a relatively small price to pay for a serviceable MLB starter. That said, the report also indicated that the Brewers were likely to pass on exercising Anderson’s 8.5 million dollar option for 2020, so it makes sense that they got something for him rather than cutting him loose for nothing.
