While things have been pretty slow when it comes to the Blue Jays roster build, there have been plenty of interesting comments to chew on for those that are paying attention.
Captured in an article from Sportnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith are several interesting comments from Mark Shapiro, the President and CEO of the Blue Jays. Shapiro has been asked a lot about the front office’s plans for the future, and while they haven’t added a lot this offseason there have been some significant roster changes, such as the release of Troy Tulowitzki.
When he was pressed about any interest in the free agent market, he eventually admitted that the Blue Jays wouldn’t be “pacing the market”, which makes sense in a rebuilding year for the club.
