Now that we’re inside 10 days before the Opening Day game for the Toronto Blue Jays, some pieces of the roster are going to be finalized in the coming days. The first of which was announced on Tuesday morning, with the Blue Jays naming J.A. Happ as their Opening Day starter, and the rest of the rotation order being laid out as well. For Happ, it’ll be the first time receiving the honour of the Opening Day game across his 11 seasons as a pro.
Happ will be followed by Aaron Sanchez, who has looked fantastic during Grapefruit League action, and hopefully has put the fingernail/blister/tendon issues behind him that derailed his 2017 season.
