The Blue Jays announced a pair of roster moves on Monday night that will open up a couple of spots on their 40-man roster. Unfortunately for the nostalgia driven fans out there, the moves were related to a couple of veterans.
The last two Blue Jays on the roster from the 2015 and 2016 playoff teams were Devon Travis and Ryan Tepera now that Justin Smoak is a free agent, and it appears likely that they’ll join him on the open market.
Tepera was designated for assignment on Monday in a move that comes as a bit of a surprise to this writer, even if last year wasn’t his greatest showing.
