The Blue Jays have slowly but surely started to address their roster needs for next season, most recently signing free agent starter Matt Shoemaker earlier this week, and utility infielder Eric Sogard before Christmas. They’ve also moved on from several veteran pieces like Troy Tulowitzki, Yangervis Solarte, and the trade of Aledmys Diaz, looking to get younger and more athletic in their rebuild.
There are a few veteran pieces that are still on the roster, and chances are that most of them will remain in 2019. The one exception could be Russell Martin, who will have a tough time finding regular playing time with the presence of young catchers like Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire on the roster and ready for the highest level.
