Isn't there something about if Yesavage gets ROY and he plays the 162 game season then we get a first rounder or something like that?  I'd imagine the team would be interested in this. 

Kind of, they'd gain a 1st round pick and lose a year of control of Yesavage, a 1st round pick is far more valuable than one year of Yesavage, but it it mitigates it somewhat, obviously.

Not to mention with the Jays taking him slowly this spring because of arm fatigue, he can still win ROY missing a month and the Jays could gain a year of control avoiding Super 2 status, I'd be fine with that to be honest. Better safe than sorry.

You don't have to play 162 there's a threshold, can't remember at the moment but it's like 4-6 weeks or something like that.

I think now that he's opening the season on the IL, he's getting service time. 

Besides, even if he was healthy, the Jays shouldn't be worrying about service time manipulation in a season where a deep post-season run is a legit expectation

Well yeah, I wrote that before this news. He was dealing with arm fatigue when he came to camp, normal for a young guy after his workload, better to be careful, they want him ramped up for the stretch run.
