After a dismal first month as the Blue Jays backup catcher, Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been formerly released.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia came into the season with hopes of being a big bat off the bench for the Blue Jays, and the guy to give much-needed rest to starter Russell Martin. Instead, he hit just .040 with a single hit in 25 at-bats.
He initially came to the Jays on a minor league deal, with an invite to spring training. He was due to make $1.25 million as a major leaguer, before getting released.
