The Blue Jays continue to add to their bullpen as we approach spring training, signing Joe Smith late Saturday night, after signing J.P. Howell on Tuesday. Both veterans signed for 1 year, with Howell receiving 3 million and Smith’s contract terms not yet known.
Adding those two to the group of incumbents in Roberto Osuna, Jason Grilli, Joe Biagini, and possibly Aaron Loup, the Blue Jays pen may be finally rounding into form. Leaving out Loup (because I don’t see him as a lock), it would seem that at least 5 jobs should be spoken for, and the Jays could still look to add again before opening day.
