Doesn't surprise me that the Jays went after another guy with closer velocity but am a bit surprised he's another righty.. pen needs a lefty or two now, if Oliver doesn't come back it will be a little ridiculous.
Hopefully Alex wraps up a manager like today to or tomorrow. Letting your old guy go a couple days before free agency was a bonehead move IMO. Not that I liked Farrell but either do it early and hire fast or don't - free agency is absolutely vital for the jays and who would take a job without knowing who their boss will be?
