The Toronto Blue Jays announce a couple more roster moves yesterday in which relief pitcher Zach Pop has been optioned to the Spring Training Complex meaning his season is done.
The Blue Jays optioned Pop to the the FCL Blue Jays as they hope he can improve his game over the course of the winter since his 5.59 ERA simply will not cut it next year if they plan on truly competing.
Toronto also decide to bring up Easton Lucas for the first time since they claimed him off waivers in August from the Detroit Tigers. Lucas pitched in his first game for the Blue Jays last night against the Red Sox pitching for 1.2 innings giving up zero hits, 2 earned runs, walking two batters and striking out another.
ROSTER MOVES:
We've recalled LHP Easton Lucas from Triple-A and he will be active tonight, wearing Number 62
RHP Zach Pop optioned to the Spring Training Complex
Must read on Blue Jays Insider
This was a decent first game for the Blue Jays new number 62 as he proved to be a decent relief pitcher which they will desperately need for next season.
Fans are hoping this is the end of Pop with the Blue Jays as it has been a brutal season for the pitcher and he was part of the problem when it comes to Toronto's bullpen struggles.
And so hopefully is the end of the Pop experiment in Toronto. Wish him the very best on wherever he ends up.
Oh God thank God is Zach Pope has been terrible for most of the year I don't even know why he's still in the organization let alone pitching for the Blue Jays. But I guess it really doesn't matter at this point but I mean still
