WASHINGTON — - As a Blue Jay for his entire career, Casey Janssen worried about what life might be like when he left the comfort of his first professional baseball “home.”
During the 2014 season, he hoped that he would not have to find out. But when fate seemed to conspire against him, he took the big step into the unknown and is more than happy with the outcome.
Even during the off-season, Janssen, who had been the Jays closer for the better part of three seasons, had held out hope that Toronto might make a competitive offer.
