The roster tinkering continues as the Blue Jays have released A.J. Jimenez, the team announced on Monday. The 26 year old catcher played 67 games with the Buffalo Bisons in Triple A, and had yet to earn a permanent promotion to the big leagues in his time with the organization.
Jimenez was originally thought to have a chance to earn the back-up catching job this spring, but it appears that’s no longer the case. The Blue Jays signed Jarrod Saltalamacchia to a MiLB contract, and he’s likely to be the odds on favourite, especially without Jimenez in the mix.
