The Toronto Blue Jays announce some massive news for rookie star Alan Roden as he has officially made the team according to reprots.
Many were not sure that Roden would make the team for Opening Day as they expected him to start the season in Triple-A but it looks like he has too good of a camp to send to the minors.
Rookie Alan Roden has officially made the Blue Jays Opening Day roster
MLB insider Keegan Matheson broke the news moments ago that the Blue Jays told Roden this morning that he has officially made the Opening Day roster contrary to everyone's beliefs.
Alan Roden has made the #BlueJays
Fans are over the moon with this big decision since he has been one of the Blue Jays best players this spring and many believed that if he was sent down it would have been a massive mistake.
You have no idea how much this means to me.
BANG!!!
This is huge for the Blue Jays because they are in need of as much offense as possible and Roden bring exactly that to the lineup but it will be interesting to see if he ends up winning a starting spot throughout the season.
This was inevitable. Alan Roden has hit at every stop in his career. He began impacting the ball even more last year when he set a new max EV three times in the same week. Advanced strikezone recognition. Barrels baseballs consistently.
Just a tremendous hitter.
It will be very exciting to see how Roden ends up doing in his first season with the Blue Jays.
