Things have been pretty slow lately for the Blue Jays when it comes to off-season activity, but there are a handful of decisions that will need to be made by no later than 8pm EST this evening.
Tonight represents the deadline for teams to non-tender their arbitration eligible players, or decide if they prefer to head to arbitration instead. For someone like Ken Giles the decision is easy, but for other more fringe-type players on the 40-man roster, it could be a notable day in their careers.
We still don’t know a whole lot about what the Blue Jays plan on accomplishing this off-season, other than the front office’s statement about being more aggressive to improve the roster.
