The Blue Jays inked starting pitcher Tanner Roark this past offseason signing the veteran to a two- year/ $24 million dollar deal. The 34-year old struggled for most of the 2020 campaign posting an inflated 6.80 earned run average in 11 games while also making it publicly known that he was not overly impressed with being yanked early from most of his starts.
As the brain trust jockeys their player chips for next season, the Blue Jays may be better suited to invest the allocated funds for Roark somewhere else in 2021. However, that would all depend if Ross Atkins could find a taker for the struggling hurler.
