Was obvious this was going to happen. Delabar and Osuna will audition for the full-time role, but I imagine Gibby will just try and piece together 27 outs day by day until someone puts together a couple of clean 9th innings.

Like I said on the weekend: give Cecil some lower leverage appearances to see if he can get his fastball command back where it needs to be, then get him back in high-leverage spots again. But 9th inning outs by committee unless we bring one in from outside.

I'm okay with the move, Osuna is one of the bright spots of our bullpen. Hopefully Delabar is back to his all star form, but i'm still not sold.

wouldnt Brandan Morrow be pretty valuable as the closer.... Too bad he wanted to be a starter and left. Maybe Seattle had it rite all along...... Jays might have let a bullpen ace get away.

The Jays asked him to re-sign as a bullpen arm, he wanted to start though and is currently injured again. Surprise.
