Blue Jays GM Atkins gives clarity to roles of Joe Biagini, Roberto Osuna

Beyond the big-picture decisions facing the Toronto Blue Jays in the coming months, some smaller-scale conversations remain that will significantly impact the 2017 roster.

Two variables, Roberto Osuna and Joe Biagini, were addressed by general manager Ross Atkins in his postseason media availability on Monday.

Atkins says Blue Jays will look at Joe Biagini as a starter in spring training if he’s open to it. Roberto Osuna is now a reliever for good.

Speaking today on The Jeff Blair Show, Atkins seemed to suggest that the Blue Jays were still not 100% certain about auditioning Joe Biagini as a starter in the spring, but the front office is certainly open to the idea.
