The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly declined to pick up the option on pitcher Chase Anderson for next season.
The Blue Jays held a $9.5 million team option that included a $500,000 buyout for the services of Chase Anderson in 2021. It is not overly surprising the brain trust opted to cut ties with the hurler following his disappointing season.
