Not keeping Yarbrough was a head scratcher to me.

I believe it’s not as simple as that. I truly believe the Jays thought he would make the team but he had an opt out clause to force their hand to put him on the 26 man or set him free on that final Sunday. I believe that before they could tell him he made it he took the opt out and left and immediately signed with the Yankees. Tampering?

Interesting. I assumed the Jays just chose not to add him to the roster. I can’t help thinking this will be a bit of a blow. I was tempted to make a joke about your first name for Lovelady but don’t think I can go there.
