Even with Romano injured and Chad Green on the way back. I still believe the Jays needed this level of impact reliever.
You can push guys like Swanson, Garcia, and Mayza into earlier roles. While you still have Trevor Richards for length or any situation he’s needed. But at the end of the game you will have Green, Hicks, and Romano. That’s an elite top end bullpen you want going into a playoff series where starters just don’t go as deep anymore. Especially how this team operates. You think Scheneider pulls guys early now. Just wait. Now you have the pieces in the pen to actually do that.
