Jays Roster Discussion

Looks like the Jays have signed Matt Shoemaker to possibly contend for one of the back end rotation spots.

Nice buy low signing. If he works out, they can trade him for a quality prospect or two at the deadline. If not, they non-tender him at the end of the year.

Davidi confirms it's $3.5M, which makes him a very affordable pickup at the deadline. If he performs reasonably, he'll net the Jays something at the deadline - even if it's just a couple relief prospects.
 
Jays acquired LH starter Clayton Richard and cash considerations from the Padres for AA OF Connor Panas. The Padres will cover half of Richard's $3 million salary for 2019.
Looks like between Shoemaker and Richard the Jays have their 2019 rotation firmed up for $5 Million combined.
 
Was a big fan of him in his time here, but it makes sense to move him as Jansen should be the full time catcher in 2019.

The return is a couple of fringe prospects.
 
It wasn't the biggest deal in the world but the Jays signed Freddy Galvis the other day to a one year deal with a team option. He's a pretty solid defensive SS who might be able to hit a bit away in good hitter's parks.
 
Daniel Hudson a Blue Jay.  The nine year veteran, from the L.A. Dodgers, signed a one yr. contract and provides the Jays with some right-handed relief pitching depth.

Devon Travis placed on 60-day DL.  Travis, the oft-injured Blue Jay as some call him, required knee surgery and extensive time due to inflammation of affected knee.

?It?s hard,? Travis said in early March. ?I?m sick of the same story over and over again. I mean, it is what it is, and you gotta find a way to keep going. But I?m sick of it, that?s for sure.?

Morales traded to the A's for Jesus Lopez (nobody).  Looks like A's will be picking up his salary

The Jays sent cash.  I think it?s more that we are paying another player to not play for the Jays

Probably clearing at-bats for Vlad.

Also, clearing up the DH spot to be able to rotate in guys like Hernandez, Smoak, etc., I imagine. The team will be paying ~$50M this season for guys to play elsewhere, but, that's part of the stripping down process.
