Ezequiel Carrera cracks Blue Jays roster as fourth outfielder

Blue Jays decision day continues with a stop in the outfield.

Moments after announcing that the young Roberto Osuna will open the season as Toronto’s closer ahead of Drew Storen, manager John Gibbons named Ezequiel Carrera the club’s fourth outfielder.

Carrera had been in a training camp competition with Dalton Pompey (optioned earlier this month), Junior Lake, and Darrell Ceciliani.

While Carrera does not come with the high-upside ceiling of a Lake or the spring wow-factor of Ceciliani, he represents a steady and known commodity to the Blue Jays.
