One of the forgotten trades of the last few seasons was when the Blue Jays shipped Jesse Chavez to the Los Angeles Dodgers for starter, Mike Bolsinger. The move had a few purposes, freeing up a bit of salary to accommodate other trades at the time, and also placed Bolsinger amongst the Jays’ starting depth, safeguarding against possible injury.
Thus far, Bolsinger has been an afterthought since arriving to the Blue Jays’ organization, but that could change very soon. The 29 year old is out of minor league options, which means the Blue Jays will have to include him on their Opening Day roster, unless they want to risk exposing him to the waiver wire, where he would surely get picked up.
