Wonder how many of the players in that one have kids in the league now. Guerrero, Biggio, Bichette, etc etc. But yeah, I remember spending the $5-10 on those "magazines". I forget which one it was, but one was definitely better than the rest.
If he was a righty I'd maybe understand it, but a lefty has more value. The only other possibility is he's off to Japan or something like that. But otherwise there's something more to the picture here.
If anyone had any interest, he could have been picked on waivers. We could also have outrighted him ourselves but left him open if anyone had any interest. But no.
Gage was given his outright release. Bit surprising and harsh. Must have done something.

Good addition, but strange timing. If the Jays waited until spring started to formalize the contract, then he could go straight to the 60 day DL. I think this will cost somebody a roster spot.
