DUNEDIN, Fla. -- This is normally the time of year when teams begin worrying about players who are out of options. That's one concern the Blue Jays don't have this spring, but it doesn't mean their roster projections are issue-free.
Outfielder Ezequiel Carrera was the only player on Toronto's 40-man roster who reported to camp without any options remaining. That meant Carrera had to clear waivers before being sent to the Minors, but in this case it didn't really matter. Carrera was designated for assignment and later granted his outright release.
The problem the Blue Jays face centers around the 40-man roster, which is currently full.
