Hm. I thought Barney might be a nice fit somewhere. Maybe at second. I guess he will look to go somewhere else.

He was a non-tender option anyways. Way too expensive for minor league depth which he is. It’s pretty unlikely he gets claimed when he’s out of options too.

Love this, basically because the Jays needed a LOOGY bad for the future and Venditte had LHBs hit a hilarious .104/.173/.234 with a 2.35FIP and a 34.6K%. The only homer he gave up this season to a LHB was against Chris Davis and let’s just say it was one of the most ridiculous pulled curveballs you’ll ever see, one that was out of the zone, away and low.
