Title says it all. Only 37 now on the 40-man roster.

considering the Jays high minor pitching depth and the fact AA said he will look for guys to fill the AAA roles incase of injury needs in the Majors, I dont see why the Jays would let Laffey go.

he is perfect extra guy for AAA team

He was 151 of 159 for SPs with over 80 IP in FIP and the last of the 9 guys with a negative fWAR.

Only because Romero and Alvarez were 147 and 149 on that scale does Laffey look like he belongs within a million miles of a major league pitching squad.

And even if he's not terrible guy to have in AAA for emergencies, you certainly don't hold him over during an offseason 'cause there are going to be a dozen guys with some starting experience looking for those AAAA camp tryout gigs and they'll all be Laffey equivalents at worst.

And keep in mind the switch to BUF means we'll be happy to play Jenkins and McGuire and all potential prospects at AAA, so there's no more need to find 5 placeholders for LV. Of course we still want a Laffeyesque guy for like the 9th/10th rotation spots, but it certainly doesn't have to be Laffey and even if it should be, you can keep the spot on your 40 open, save yourself a Rule 5 loss and get him back later when someone gets hurt.

Jesse Litsch refused to be sent to AAA so he's been released, and can sign with anyone. So that's another vacancy on the 40-man roster.

Make an official off-season sticky for these acquisitions please. This title is way too misleading.
