Blue Jays: James Shields might be what the 2019 rotation needs

If you were to project the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays rotation, there definitely isn’t a whole lot of innings that can be counted upon between Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, and Ryan Borucki. Beyond those three, there’s two glaring rotation openings for the likes of Sean Reid-Foley, Thomas Pannone, and perhaps some others to step up and claim.

That’s not many innings to go around regardless of how you fill in the rotation, and it’s an area that will likely need to be addressed. To that end, the Chicago White Sox declined the $16 million option on James Shields today (October 29th) and his 204.
