Gregor Chisholm: Blue Jays adding Chad Green to bullpen mix is well worth the risk
bullpen got a little bit deeper on Tuesday afternoon with the addition of veteran reliever Chad Green on a two-year deal.
The options apparently don’t stop there. If Green declines his player option, the Jays have a two-year option worth $21 million and another $1-million in incentives. The 31-year-old reportedly has passed his physical, but the Jays will have to clear a spot on their 40-man roster before the move becomes official.
A combination of injuries and subpar performances figure to open additional spots as the year progresses. The idea is to have Green available as a mid-season replacement, a potentially high-end one at that, which should limit the number of arms the Jays require at the July 31 trade deadline.
