All good things come to an end, and that might be the case for several Blue Jays veterans this offseason. For more than 8 years, the Blue Jays have had Jose Bautista and/or Edwin Encarnacion on their roster, and it’s possible neither will be back in 2017.
Brett Cecil has been part of the team since 2009, and joins the list which also includes Saunders, R.A. Dickey, Joaquin Benoit, Dioner Navarro, Scott Feldman, and others. While the Blue Jays are a close knit group, there’s little doubt that change is coming for 2017, and it could be the type of change that alters the face of the franchise.
