Steve Delabar has been one of the better stories on the Toronto Blue Jays these past few seasons, going from a substitute teacher to a Major League All-Star after arm troubles nearly cost him his career.
Early Tuesday, the Toronto Blue Jays released the 32-year-old reliever after four seasons with the organization.
Delabar was one of several Blue Jays arms without Minor League options remaining, and the offseason influx of rotation and bullpen depth slowly pushed him further away from a spot on the Major League roster.
After coming over from the Seattle Mariners in 2012 in exchange for Eric Thames, Delabar enjoyed a strong debut season with Toronto before truly breaking out in 2013.
