When the Blue Jays signed Hyun-Jin Ryu back in December, he was the third starting pitcher added to the roster after Tanner Roark and Chase Anderson, and up to five if you include a healthy Matt Shoemaker, and also Shun Yamaguchi, who pitched as a starter in Japan last season. They closed the 2019 calendar by signing Travis Shaw to help shore up their infield as well.
As they opened a new year, it felt like the Blue Jays might be done off-season shopping, with the exception of a few MiLB contracts brought in like we’ve seen recently with Ruben Tejada, Joe Panik, Caleb Joseph and more.
