Blue Jays Bullpen 2019: Have The Jays A Secret Weapon?

They Jays will enter 2019 with an <ahem> “interesting” bullpen.

Ken Giles (and his zero blown saves in 2018) should close, with Ryan Tepera and David Phelps setting up. But then it gets a bit murky.

Will the Jays try to hold onto Elvis Luciano for a full year, at the cost of a bullpen spot? Will Clayton Richard be converted to a bullpen arm? Will the Jays use the bullpen to ease the transition of Sean Reid-Foley or Thomas Pannone to the rotation (as the White Sox did with Chris Sale)? And who will step up to be the Jays’ “Miller Lite” – a dependable, multi-inning, mid-leverage reliever?
