The Blue Jays finally added a piece to their outfield picture, inking Curtis Granderson to a one year, five million dollar deal on Monday night. The news was first reported by Ken Rosenthal and is pending a physical, and Blue Jays fans and writers are already starting to react one way or another.
In the grand scheme of things, Granderson represents a pretty safe signing for Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro, who will presumably platoon in left field with Steve Pearce, at least as the roster is currently constructed. What it means for Teoscar Hernandez, Ezequiel Carrera, and others remains to be seen, but at the very least the Blue Jays added a veteran with a long history of success.
