BFMD 386 - Tyler Rogers Signing Solidifies Blue Jays Bullpen
The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off another unexpected signing on Friday by inking submarine arm right hander Tyler Rogers to a 3-year contract worth $37 million. The move comes on the heals of the club officially welcoming Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce to the franchise, and amid rumours that they are among the front runners for both Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette.Justin and Patrick look at Rogers' wacky Savant page, and discuss the factors that make him so elite at inducing weak contact.
Ahead of MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando, the Blue Jays have made a couple of moves. They have signed Cody Ponce, who was drafted in 2015 by the Brewers. He spent 5 years in the Brewers system before 3 years with the Pirates during which he never really figured it out. He then went to the Nipon League in Japan for 3 years before moving to Korea and earning MVP honours while striking out 252 batters.The Jays also outrighted Yariel Rodriguez to the minors, leaving them with two open spots on the 40-man roster.
