As the Toronto Blue Jays are heading into the offseason with a lot of question marks, the number one priority is too address the their bullpen situation as it was the weakest aspect of their team.
When they address the bullpen issues, will the team elect to try and resign Ryan Yarbrough?
As the Blue Jays look to remake their bullpen this winter, re-signing Ryan Yarbrough makes sense, and they're expected to pursue a reunification. @ShiDavidi looks at the benefits the reliever has provided since joining the team at the trade deadline.
By all accounts, the team should resign him as it makes a lot of sense, he was a dominant relief pitcher for 5 season with the Tampa Bay Rays and drove the fans of Toronto crazy. In the 23, he achieved a 9-3 record and 3.52 ERA in 94.2 innings.
«He is such an undervalued piece in baseball,» pitching coach Pete Walker said Sunday before Yarbrough allowed one run over four innings of bulk work in a 4-3 loss to the Rays. «That kind of guy, you cannot find him. He gives you innings. He's not afraid. He's a professional. He goes about his business the right way. He'll take the ball in any situation.
«I've enjoyed watching him from a distance in the past and now seeing him on our side, I realize how valuable he is to a rotation and a bullpen,» Walker continued. «For me, he's like the glue between the cracks.»
