TORONTO -- Yangervis Solarte survived one important roster deadline last week, but he's not out of the woods yet. Another deadline looms Friday.
All Major League teams have until Friday to tender each of their arbitration-eligible players a contract for 2019. Toronto has 10 players who fall into this category, and while most are expected to stick around, the same cannot be said about Solarte.
Toronto currently does not have any open spots on its 40-man roster. Before the club signs a free agent, or adds players through trade, additional space will have to be created.
