Even though there won’t be any big league baseball for the foreseeable future, the Blue Jays had to make a decision with their roster the other day.
Since they had signed Joe Panik to a MiLB contract with the condition that he’d be released by March 15th if he didn’t make the team, the Blue Jays decided to go ahead and add him to the 40-man roster, all but guaranteeing him a spot on the 26-man, Opening Day roster.
The Blue Jays already had to make one decision to make room for him, and they did so by placing Yennsy Diaz on the 60-day injured list after he was diagnosed with a lat strain.
