For as much as we’ve heard about the need for the Blue Jays to add starting pitching this off-season, the front office has addressed the issue fairly directly. First they traded for Chase Anderson from the Brewers, then they tendered a contract to Matt Shoemaker, and earlier this week they signed Tanner Roark to a two-year, 24 million dollar pact.
Despite all of that work overhauling the rotation, the job won’t feel like it’s done until there’s one more arm that can lead the revamped group, as that’s what the Blue Jays really need.
