Without Jason Grilli, it’s possible the Toronto Blue Jays are watching Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card game from home.
The 39-year-old reliever came over from the Atlanta Braves in a small salary dump deal for a minor leaguer on May 31st and solidified the back end of a bullpen in need of one more piece. Grilli landed with an ERA north of five, but in his first 43 appearances with the Blue Jays up to and including September 24th, he pitched to a 2.45 ERA and held opponents to a brilliant .154 batting average against.
