Just yesterday, I wrote about how the Blue Jays likely still needed to address the utility-man position on their 26-man roster before Opening Day rolls around, and then they made a move related to the position. Only, instead of adding a piece to the roster, Ross Atkins and the rest of the front office decided to designate Richard Urena for assignment, who would have been the leading in-house candidate for the job.
It is possible that Urena could clear waivers and remain in the Blue Jays’ organization, but it’s far more likely than he’ll get scooped up somewhere else around the league.
