Blue Jays Announce Roster; Opening Day Around the Corner

March 31st, 2013.

Toronto Blue Jays GM Ryan Stewart announced the Blue Jays Opening Day 25 Man roster and it has a few new faces from the one that won the World Series last season. GM Ryan Stewart on the Jays Roster Selection "It was a long month in Dunedin this year but it was a good, fun month. Our kids that were competing for spots gave us a great show and have made the selection of the last few roster spots very difficult. We are very porud of how they performed during the spring and have little doubt that those that didn't make the team right away will continue to develop. It is a long season and guys get hurt and go into slumps you always have to be prepared. I think the fact that we lost so many good players and are able to replace them from within is a testiment to how deep out minor league system is. For that the credit must go to the scouting staff for finding and evaluating the kids and to our minor league development staff for getting the players to the point where they can produce at the major league level"
