Here at Jays Journal we’ve started to take a look at the likely 25 man roster, and try to paint the picture of what 2016 may hold for our beloved Jays. The next instalment of our 2016 season preview takes a look at veteran knuckleballer and rotation piece, R.A. Dickey.
As most of us know by now, this will be R.A. Dickey’s 4th season in Toronto after the Jays picked up his 12-million dollar option, and he will be a free agent in 2017. Although he’s 41 and now the oldest player in the MLB with the retirement of LaTroy Hawkins, Dickey has continued to contribute value to the Jays throughout his tenure.
