The Blue Jays are starting to get interesting, as they’ve won the last two series against the Yankees and Pirates, and just took the opener of a four game set with the Tampa Bay Rays. For those of you who are just catching up, the Blue Jays closed the gap to just one game behind the struggling Rays, and have an opportunity to pass one team in the Wild Card standings, if the surge continues.
The front office is still working, both on this season and with an eye on the 2018 as well. They made a couple of minor moves on Monday, bringing up Tim Mayza for a shot in the bullpen, and releasing Taylor Cole from the 40 man roster.
