The Blue Jays had two pitchers plucked from their organization even before they were able to select 18-year old pitcher Elvis Luciano from the Kansas City Royals. Jordan Romano was selected third overall by the White Sox who then proceeded to flip the Canadian hurler to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations.
Reliever Travis Bergen was then drafted by the San Francisco Giants 8th overall after a spectacular 2018 campaign with Dunedin and New Hampshire. Bergen would have had a chance to crack the Jays bullpen out of spring training had he been provided the opportunity.
